I found out that someone tried to exploit my site by using the Encryption SSL key through Settings/Server .

How did that happen? The SSP encryption key was not a straightforward line, full of letters. Instead, before that line, I saw that message:
</span>ïd=inpu encryption" class="form-control"

This was copy-pasted around 4 times together with some pre-made text.

So is this a security issue?

Correct. However, it can also be caused by an installed extension but is not a bug from the core.

Dedication and passion goes to those who are able to push and merge a project.

How do you know someone tried to exploit your site? Could it not just be your template for the setting page has been corrupted, maybe by an extension?

So it wasn't a hacker.

It was the Greek language file! That very weird.

So anyone that has used Greek translation? Which one shall I download? Something that doesn't have issues.

Thanks.

One of those many reasons why everyone has to post in his first message,
1. which OpenCart version is used
2. which additonal extensions are used
3. any modifications are used/made
4. which template is used
5. which languages are additonally installed/used

What for do you all think is this here: viewtopic.php?f=176&t=200480
