Click here to see the profile of this user 		Joomla Security - 2007/08/28 17:52 Fellow Joomers!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Joomla security problems and I would just like to advise all the good Joomla people out on the Internet to make sure that your Joomla is the latest version (1.0.13). Also, if you haven't already visited this site go to :
The Joomla Security Forum and do it on a regular basis.

Let me suggest looking at the list of extensions that have known security problems!

When adding a 3rd party extension please take your time and do as much research as possible to make sure that this extension has no MySQL injection, php injection problems.

Since my initial post, I have been blessed with no additional successful hacks but on regular examination of my apache log files, I regularly see hacking attempts. These are mainly attacks on known Joomla Extensions with holes such as older versions of SimpleFAQ and Community Builder.

I strongly encourage any serious Joomla site owner to read and incorporate the material from the following link:

http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,244279.0.html

Those of you that are using Joomla 1.5, read the following information at this link:
