Hacker was detected after creating a giant archive file that took up all the free disk space. Had been inside the company's network for almost two years, undetected.
A Utah-based IT company found out it was hacked only after it received an alert about one of its servers running out of free disk space.
The hack impacted InfoTrax Systems, a US company based in Orem, Utah, that provides hosted applications for multi-level marketers (MLMs).
Companies rent access on InfoTrax servers so they can manage MLM operations, and store data on customers and employees, using InfoTrax's applications.
In 2016, the company announced a security breach during which a hacker stole the personal details of around one million users. Following tips that the company had failed to secure its servers, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) started an investigation into the hack.
