Just asking briefly. I have a marketplace and I am using quick.cart of course. Suddenly there has been almost hundred visits from United States in 24 hours. What does this tell..? Is there something I should get worried about..?

Just ment what does it mean. Is it googlebots or something else what is doing that. Link to my shop is only used in small group of people and there has been like 40-50 people per day and all from my homeland, which is Finland. Just wondering why there has been now hundreds of visitors from USA.

Wisemen, tell me.

No, actually it is plain finnish text nobody understands anyway. Just wonderd has there been any attacks against quick.cart-shops or its modules. If there has been some vulnerabilities I guess it is easy to do harm. Does history now these kind of situations? It is so easy to find these pages using quick.cart from the pagelist and using "Quick.cart" as a searched word via google or something.I think.. But this is only things I play in my head - I have no information about how safe it is to use Quick.cart or do hackers attack against these sites.

Maybe this is the reason: http://securityreason.com/exploitalert/1448

Last two months i have also had many strange visitors and this file is in top of the awstats log (actions_client/gallery.php), everything seams to be allright, but what is this..?

well my 1.4 was cracked recently,and also my host sent me a letter that many attacks happened against free cms systems like mambo etc. most of them successfully altered the code in site.

In my case only the index files were swapped... but in another case mass mailing was conducted trough mambo cms...

So i were happy to hear about some security impovements... Treewood?

Oi this looks totally scary - went to the link above - and with my limited knowledge of PHP, am now really out of my depth (and I'll bet.... there are a lot of people in the same boat as me) can someone disseminate this into understandable (laymans language) for me to understand.

I obviously dont want any cart I build comprimised in any way, especially if my clients know even less than me ;-)
