Cron backdoors

Discussions of secure PHP coding. Security in software is important, so don't be afraid to ask. And when answering: be anal. Nitpick. No security vulnerability is too small.

Great link! Thank you for sharing, my friend.

I am deeply concerned about security and this is yet another issue to contend with.

I do not have direct access to my company's server logs, etc (Hosted), so I am a bit restrained in being prepared for certain attacks.

My question: What do we do to protect against this flavor of attack?

Cheers,
Matthew
