To all Philhosting Linux Customers:
With great regret, Philhosting has decided to discontinue FrontPage publishing on all of our Linux cPanel hosting servers. This is because Microsoft has discontinued FrontPage extension support for the Unix/Linux platform and we have recently observed severe intrusion attempts using FrontPage vulnerabilities. These intrusions attempts could affect every user on our shared servers and we fully expect these intrusion attempts to continue in the future.
We are aware of the fact that many of our customers rely on FrontPage publishing support and we are also aware many of these customers would not consider the FTP based publishing option within the FrontPage client itself. However, security of our servers and clients data is and always will be our top priority and we will not be able to maintain security unless we take appropriate action to address these vulnerabilities.
Thank you.
