Default Security issues with Joomla?

It's being fixed, but look at it www.propertyhogs.com
I'm glad I have a backup. What scares me is that this was the latest version of Joomla I have downloaded. Has anyone here been hacked as well?

I put the temporary page back on. Sorry, should have taken a screenshot. It had a page saying we've been hacked with Turkish music on it. Seems quite a few Joomla based sites have been hacked recently. Hope they're working on something to secure things better.

Damn. That sucks. I was looking at doing Joomla for a new web site. Well, maybe this will be a good learning experience for them.

Default Re: Security issues with Joomla?

I am a developer and I started using joomla few years back for my client thinking its good product and I can deliver product quickly. I admit joomla has lots of add on which are free but since its free every 2/3 month I find myself one of the site is hacked specially by turkish hacker. Anyway I stopped doing joomla site for my clients but I do own about 21 websites using joomla and I make sure I update them and make sure them secure.

So I would recommend you to stay away from joomla if you are not an expert .

Hey! SHHHHHHH!

Just did a back up - I'm okay for now. My site has been hacked before though. It wasn't defaced or anything, but the backend was torn to pieces, files were deleted, and I had to start over. Backups are stupendous. (I didn't back up regularly back then, but hey, I learned my lesson)
