My Hosting came with Sitelock. $14.95..I have one tiny website. Back in Sept 2013 Sitelock didn’t like the page I made on my website, nor did they like me linking my server wordpress.org with a program called "Ten Minute Pages".
They said- “We have detected a critical cross-site scripting vulnerability at your site. From your dashboard, you can also take advantage of our Expert Services team to help you correct this issue and get your SiteLock certification back in good standing.”
What I was told from SiteLock was it would cost me hundreds$$$ to fix. What I was told and what was really the issue was two different things. After speaking with Sitelock, I realized they wanted an enormous amount of $$$$ and there was no such security breach. I called my hosting Co. and spoke to the manager and he agreed with me, sounded surprised and would speak to Sitelock would tell them they are no longer needed and I wouldn’t have to worry about it. Come- Jan 2014-sitelock sent the same email again. I called my hosting mgr again and he said he would take care of it.
Sitelock sent another email and so I responded- "This email is now considered harassment. You are on notice."
July 11th, 2014 my host sent me an email and shut my website down within 1/2 hour of the email. The email read- “There has been new activity on the iPage support ticket for your account.” Nothing else was said about shutting it down. I called and they said it was infected. Infected with what I don't know. But I paid for 2years of service, and still have months left.
The mgr I had been speaking to about this issue in January and September, is of course, no longer working for the company.
I had 3 malware checks today from 3 different companies and they all said it was free of malware and there was no hacking. The whole thing sounds just wrong. Where should I begin?
