. I’ve traded hosting with lotsa ppl for the same reason in the past. But getting in without their knowledge can’t be real easy.
I don’t think it’s one specific mechanism that allows this to happen, but it is usually systems like WordPress (e.g.) that have specific back-end holes that permit entry into the system, and permit remote download. So, unbenounced to hoster, code is downloaded onto an existing site. Always keep FTP passwords fresh (i.e., change frequently) to minimize the chance of this happening. Hackers will always try to exploit any weaknesses that are out there.
What do you mean by “Traded Hosting” ???
