Hi,

My host has arbitrarily decided to change permissions on my PMachine folder and deny anyone - myself included - access to the files.

They say that:
“Access is denied to this folder as the PHP scripts in there were more than likely insecure and hackers sent out thousand of spam messages. The timestamp of this directory is March 2003.”

Now the claim that the scripts were more than likely insecure sounds like guesswork to me and despite me asking I haven’t been told whether spam messages have been sent out or if that’s just more than likely too.

But before I go a ranting could you tell me a) if there are any such security issues you’re aware of and b) roughly how many times the latest version of PMachine Pro has been downloaded?

Thanks.

I take it there’s been no major security issues with PMachine. 

But could anyone give me a rough idea of the number of times v2 has been downloaded?  It would help win the argument if I know it’s been used thousands of times with no ill effect.
