1.) If you're using 1.5, upgrade to 1.7. . 2.) Hire a web security professional to conduct a risk assessment of both sites. . .'cos I'm 90% sure there's a PHP shell in one of your folders. . |

thanks for the responses, i used joomla 1.5 for one of the site and 1.6 for the other one. the index pages are blank except that the hackers wrote " hacked by amin safi" and "hacked by as". whats next? |

Theses tips will help: 1.change ur backend login username from Admin to something hard to guess. 2.change ur database default prefix jos_ to another thing u can ask Google how to do it or Pm me. 3.always use the current version of joomla as older versions always contains vulnerablities 4.check the user manager for unusual names and phony registrations and delete them this could be hackers who have gained entrance to ur backend. Backup! Backup!! Using akeeba pm me on how to do it if u do not know how to do it. Shadowblaqq. |

@ Shadow tnx for the info.@sly wat r d solutions then |
Re: My Joomla Sites Hacked- Help by Slyr0x: 10:15am On Feb 02, 2012 |
quest4$: Your answer here Shadowblaqq: + Slyr0x: Before you implement the tips mentioned above, you need to 1st understand how your website/web application got compromised. .This is the 1st step. . .and that takes us to hiring a Web security professional (one who knows the art of log-reading). .That way, he/she can then proffer solutions as to how to get these security gaps closed |

Upgrade your version of joomla and ensure that you do periodic backups, no site is unhackable my friend |
Re: My Joomla Sites Hacked- Help by Shadowblaqq(m): 6:14pm On Mar 02, 2012 |
schneid:Update: recently i had an experience i want to share wi th you guys and that is:Do not install joomla templates,extensions components,plugins and modules from "UKNOWN SOURCES" cos hidden in these freebies can be TROJANS, EXPLOITS, and COMPROMISED CODE. |
Re: My Joomla Sites Hacked- Help by bug24(m): 10:07pm On Mar 02, 2012 |
Shadowblaqq: Exactly, i was just gonn say that. Nothin is totally free. |
Re: My Joomla Sites Hacked- Help by webmpro(m): 1:59am On Mar 03, 2012 |
I totally agree that no site is un hackable, the best thng to do now is to hire an expert, or kindly wipe out the entire installation if u have the backup. |
