Hey! My buddy owns a site, and now some dude on aim messaged him and was saying to pay him for security updates, of course he said no because everything is updated and their is no exploits out the only thing he has is the latest word press.
Its on a dedicated host, and the guy then created a folder on the server somehow.
Any idea how i cna try to reattempt this or some how figure out how he did it?
Don't really wanna pay 20grand to this stalker dude. lol |

Look at the logs.
Change every pass on this server(admin,root,ftp,ssh, ...etc). |

| it's also not only important to just keep your wordpress up to date but every script and application that's running on the server. it might be possible that for example he managed to get in through an old forum script or an ftp server bug and that's how he was able to create that folder. |

| Could the "stalker" have physical access to the machine? If you really get worried you could ask for a data-center transfer... That would probably cost a bit though, but certainly not 20 grand. |

Hmmm, I doubt he has physical access to the server.
I used this http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/port-scanner/
I found out these ports where open.
port 21 (ftp)
port 25 (smtp)
port 80 (http)
port 110 (pop3)
port 3306 (mysql) |
