Re: Permissions for Picture Folder.
There are a few things that could help this situation.
First, make sure that your permissions of the folder and the files in it are set to 744. You can do this from SSH or telnet by changing into that directory, and typing
chmod 744 *
This will ensure that the files and folder are readable, but not writable.
If you are still being attacked after doing this, you are probably either running an insecure application on your website, or you are on hosting that is not running at the most up-to-date patch level.
If you are running any 3rd party applications on your site - CMS's, message boards, etc. - make sure that you are running the current stable version of the software, and that it isn't an unsupported package (that it has been updated fairly recently.)
If you aren't running any 3rd party apps, your webhost may be running an out of date version of PHP, MySQL, Perl, or Apache which may have vulnerabilities that are being exploited.
Good luck!
