I guess what I meant is that the host being exploitable such that a "script kiddie" can execute scripts even looking for chmod exploits make it a surpass problem. I'm not saying it's Surpass' fault, as I surely shouldn't have forgotten to correct my file permissions.

I think as twirp said, it's a problem with shared hosting in general.

Either way I hope this thread helps somebody else realize that shared hosting is exploitable via vulnerability scripts and remember to set file permissions correctly!!

Thanks for all of your replies.
