Why am I doing this?
My website was hacked on or about
5/15/06. The person changed my paypal address for orders to: Kupu2003@Yahoo.com
I was able to fix this easily; however, I didn't know how they did it. Searching the
net was almost useless. Finally, I figured out what they did and how. I secured my
site, and started wondering how many more were hackable and started searching. I have
found MANY and emailed those sites to get them to fix it.

How to fix it!
There are a couple of ways to
fix this problem.
1) The more complicated way is to change the permissions to the file
to be secure, but most people reading this will not know how to do that.
2) The easiest way is to change the name of the database from the default of
vsproducts.mdb to something else. Then, change the db_conn_open.asp file
located in /vsadmin to point to the correct file.
