Joomla can be more friendly for hackers too !!!
Scribbled on Saturday, January 31st, 2009For one week my net connection was down ! And today when I opened my website (webofgoo.com), I found that the index page was altered by some hacker.
One thing is sure that same guy hacked into other users having Joomla installed. I too have version 1.5.8 but never used it (someone else did…lol). I didn’t even installed any addons or posted any post in that, it was a vanilla install.
Now I have removed Joomla, Drupal is still running good. He did change my wordpress blog’s (t.webofgoo.com) current theme index page (I wonder why ? He could have simply place an index file in the main directory).
Probably hacker used password vulnerability as I got this link in Joomla Forum:
http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=432&t=316567
I will not touch Joomla ever again until it gets more secure than Drupal or Wordpress.
PS: Thankfully I had a different password set for WHM and my email 
That saved some guys who share their website in my reseller account.
