Hi.

The reason why you were hacked is because Azam requests FTP access and then asks you to change the permissions of folders. Specifically your home folder to 777. This creates a security flaw and an open door for hackers.

Hi,
Syndicate291 your scenario and his are different you are not providing even the required access which makes us unable to make any changes.
In your case we can’t even access home directory for which I have asked you to give permission but as you have said you already given so as a wild card I have asked you to change permission to 777 for a little period in order to make changes.
I apologize for any misunderstanding but as a fellow developer you can understand how much necessary is file permission to make any changes.
Thanks
