Windows NT Administrator?

Guest

I recently created and uploaded a couple of webpages. Shortly afterwards, I
found that someone had hacked into my computer. He then gained access to my
host(directNIC) and my ftp program and made several to my account settings on
both.

The worst part was, I found that he had uploaded files that contained my
personal information to the web. I was able to have that problem corrected
by contacting FTP Navigator.

I looked at the event viewer on my computer and found that someone was
denied access to my computer. Here's the error message I received:

"The server was unable to logon the Windows NT account 'Administrator' due
to the following error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
The data is the error code. For additional , etc."

Another thing I found in my Notepad that occurred around this time was a
file named ".bash_profile" looks like this: # .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

export PATH
unset USERNAME

and yet another Notepad file that was created at the same time:


I don't know if there's any relevance between the two, but I cannot risk
allowing this to occur again ever.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

It seems that the notepad entries were a part of a Linux Bash script. I am
certainly no expert in Linux, but some of the exact script comments listed
can be found through google and appear to be a common part of login script
for Linux, written in Bash (Bourne Shell).

You did not ask a specific question below, so I hope this is what you wanted
to know.
