PTR Hacker Gets Free Ads

I read this Admin message from the owner of BeezyClickin.com and I just don't know what to make of it.

I am not sure any of you are aware of an issue many PTR sites have been having over the last 8-12 months. I will fill you in a bit on it.

Many sites were experiencing a hacker. In which somehow he was getting into our sites, and placing a PTC on our sites. For months many of us have been trying to figure out how he was doing it. On Sunday 1/8, the site experience some downtime in which the MYSQL was down.

The server in which many sites hosted by my host were. Because the hacker again attempted to get into the sites, and the Server was locked down.


Somebody's been hacking PTR sites for the last year so they could get a free PTC (paid to click) banner? Something smells fishy.

Anybody know anything about this? If you've got some info to share, plese leave a comment or email me at wil at freecashspace dot com.
