Everything points to a hack... or should I say direct intent to fuck my site up, but I do not understand how this person is making any money off it. One thing for sure is sales are outlandishly slow, but when I contacted CCbill yesterday they said there is no way for a sale to even go through with permission settings not matching theirs.
It's like files for the past 3 weeks have been uploaded, deleted, re-uploaded to take the sales but cannot understand how they could get a processor to take the sales.
There was a 30 member discrepency in my password file with the changed permission settings.

The hack doesn't stop you from making normal sales.
Why do this? Password trading!!!!
The hack will load passwords into your file but it will not show up as a sale
from ccbill. Sales from ccbill will still go thru; but if your site is all over the
password trading sites then the surfers are using that instead of signing up.
Therefore signups are down.
I'm not claiming 100% this is happening; just saying from knowledge of working
with the system and my programming background that this is a very strong possibility.
