Hi all,

On Saturday evening (about midnight where I am GMT+10) the web hosting provider I use had a denial of service attack which caused a few problems.

Since then something strange has happened to my php scripts in a particular folder.

I've raised it with their support team (and they are working on it).

What seems to be happening to any script that runs is that the permissions change from 644 to 744 the moment it runs.

eg

<?php

echo 'test';

?>

saved as 'test.php' with permissions 644 will automatically change to 744 on execution.

Has anyone here had experience with this sort of thing and would know why this would occur?
