On June 16, 2010 I found that two of my hosting servers were compromised. Malicious JavaScript had been added to the index files on 4 different business websites. I restored and recovered immediately.

After digging around for a long time, I came across this thread: 10-ftp-clients-malware-steals-credentials-from
This is what happened to me.

PLEASE change FlashFxP so that the site manager does not save credentials in a plain text file. This is urgent and should become priority #1 because this maleware is still undetectable and seems to be increasing in activity.

FlashFxP MUST come off this list in order for it to continue being a safe choice for IT professionals.

Thank You
