Google Webmaster > Security Issues > Content injection

I have powerstore install for my e-commerce website, and I have a few pages that have been hacked. It mostly extra pages with content about pills and other drug pills sales. My site has nothing to do with this kind of item. How do I get into these pages to delete them?

Can I get FTP access to the site and the URLs of the offending pages? I'll take a look and remove the pages and see if I can figure out how they got in. I'll need FTP access to see what was added and where and be able to advise you on how to remove it.

I was able to investigate and fix this issue with FTP access. It looks like you had an old version of Powerstore 3 installed previously that had a security hole that we warned users about 15 years ago, but it never got resolved on this server. I closed the hole and deleted the files causing issues so that hopefully it won't happen again.
