    UPDATED: UK sites involved in massive website hack

Exploit may track back to Fasthosts compromise, but security researchers warn of its difficulty to track and detect.

"For example, Fasthosts does not deploy cPanel in its shared or dedicated platform," said Stevenson, referring to website administration control panel mentioned by ScanSafe as a 'near constant presence' and possible factor in the spread of the attacks.

He continued: "While it is not possible to comment on a list of domains that Fasthosts has not been privy to, the full details of these domain names will be requested in order for Fasthosts to carry out this investigation.

"Fasthosts can confirm that it has to date received no evidence on such an issue, nor has it been approached by any customer with this concern," he said.

"The security of customers' website data remains of paramount importance to Fasthosts."
