Hello, I am trying to determine if i am hacked, here is details: I just got a message from softlayer support: ABUSE - 66.228.xxx,xxx - HACKING/MALICIOUS ACTIVITY - IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED. with some log like this:Also, I did a rkhunter scan and found: So does that mean my server was compromised? Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thanks

You may ignore those rkhunter warnings. Check for the IP that is listed in the abuse message in log files to see any specific bad attempt.

Probably something normal like a portscan or something. Have you gotten anything new from your provider, or was that the only notice you've received?
