I just discovered that someone is trying to hijack one of my XOOPS sites via improper use of https. The site in question ishttp://manyroads.info andhttps://manyroads.info

Has anyone encountered a similar problem? What do I do to fix this problem???

Thanks.

--followup note---

I found this article which may indicate that any XOOPS site is vulnerable to the problem:

I hope I'm wrong.

Here's a brief update on what happened and perhaps it speaks to a security issue, perhaps not.

I have a server but the server dns address is shared (my domain dns is not unique-- something I think I'll fix!) Because the dns is shared the certificate of the firm with the SSL certificate hijacks my domain name. My ISP fixed the problem. However I think everyone should be aware of this problem and take appropriate action to prevent the problem (and fright) I just went through!
