        Kind of funny, I've always heard people claim how secure DA is especially compared to cPanel. Looks like their main servers got hacked.

              scan the system if you went on this page austinfosec.com.au/update.php
              There was a malicious code on the page.

                Never use an update unless it is from the original source of the software! As said if you followed the above link then you need to run a full security audit because this was evidently from a malicious source. See the forum thread below on the directadmin site.

                      Hello,

                      The e-mail you received is a malicious phishing attempt and there is no security hole in DirectAdmin's latest version. You can follow this thread for more information:

                      http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40454

                      I apologize for the brief e-mail but we are still working on solving this.

                      Thanks,

                      Mark
