How about moving your site (at a reasonable expense) to allsimbaseball.com? Let them worry about web site security for your league.
All true, what you say...and he is already a client of allsimbaseball.com but there is nothing that can be done if the game continues to leave a door wide open. Some of Roger's frustration also is due to his and my AV software weren't picking up on what another GM of his was seeing with his AV software. All AV software is different, but that's a completely different subject that I could go on and on about.

Anyway, cleaning, upgrading and migrating, securing and separating directories, changing passwords, etc, etc. and that other GM of his was still seeing his AV program detect something. Finally finding where it was that the elusive infected file was at seemed to coincide with Roger's threshhold for... well you get the picture.

I don't blame Roger at all for feeling defeated. His site is now clean and the hacker did not succeed in monetizing his work(I could go on and on about this too), but he did succeed in demoralizing a very active commissioner that truly loved his league.
