We use several VPS – Virtual Private Servers – to host a number of sites. Yesterday one of them came crashing down. How could that be when we knew we had over 300 megabytes of free space two days before?! It was time to do some sleuthing.
First off, we deleted all bloated log files. Might sound stupid – logs contain critical information - but you can’t work with gigantic log files when pressed with time. What you need is to get the server back up and running. By the time we created some space by removing some of the access_log files from various directories, we noticed the space available was back to normal levels, but decreased by 3 or 4 megabytes per 10 minutes. Not a good situation.

The issue was first reported by Lorelle on WordPress after it was discovered that an attack is exploiting security holes in previous versions, creating a hidden Admin account and drilling right down to the database level.
