our CTO was monitoring invalid FTP login attempts from last couple of days and he managed to track some successful login attempts from proxy IPs which originated from Spain

He managed to make a list of all accounts which were successfully connected by the Spanish proxy IPs and only option he had was to reset passwords of those accounts which were accessed by the hackers. Any further delay in resetting your passwords could have resulted in severe injection on your websites and you would have lost your google rankings and credibility with injected websites. Some websites were injected by the hackers, we removed their iframe injection code in less than 5 minutes after injection.

Passwords were changed for some accounts which had strong passwords, as it was important for us to reset passwords of those accounts which had their login usernames in database of hackers.

Our support team was simultaneously sending new welcome email to customers whose passwords were changed.

We don't enjoy creating such situation, but we don't want any of our customers to loose their Business due to injected website.

If you haven't received new welcome email till now then please contact our support team and ask them to resend the welcome email with new password.
