I received an email from Steve Hetrick at DataWebPro that will be of interest to anyone running the JOOMLA content management system on their servers.
Both Joomla and Mambo have come under attack in the past few weeks – a serious issue that can result in site
defacements to more serious account and server security breaches.
Steve recommends that you upgrade to the latest version of Joomla, 1.0.10, which involves only a few mouse clicks when you use Cpanel’s Fantastico.
Apparently most of the hacks are coming through outdated or compromised plugins.
For a list of the plugins and more information about the problem, visit http://www.datawebpro.net/alert.
Cheers,
Ros
