Joomla is great as long as you keep your version updated with them! Start a thread here - *forum.joomla.org/ and send them a complain ticket ;)

Typical average user.

C'mon...even Linux has bugs and security holes(which you will never know until someone publishes them).

PS: Thankfully I had a different password set for WHM and my email :p That saved some guys who share their website in my reseller account.

Now we seriously need to look into security aspect of websites.


Did you do a security audit of your site?
so that this never happens again

Also, please change all your passwords as a precaution;)

^^As long as you data is backed up, you shouldn't worry.

I did a clean install of wordpress 2.7. So far have been updating it regularly.

Passwords was not cracked actually. But i have changed them to something deranged out of proportions.

lol...u are over-reacting :D
But I now I hope you people get why security IS important. I have seen many people ignoring the security aspect as if it does not exists. Most people say "Hey it works and that is all I want"....and then they get many more unwanted things :lol:

Errr??? You really think T is SO RICH that he can afford to do it for the sake of few personal accounts.....dude, security audit is a BIG thing, and usually is undertaken at data-center level, not reseller or front-line level.

And with so many loosely coded scripts, its not even worth to have an security audit done! You see, one programmer's stupidity can beat the indigenious fool-proof algorithm of another :D

Security is important but with added security comes inconvenience.
till now i though who would have interest in our stupid personnel blogs. hackers target big site and not us.

Things would change now!

I was talking symbolically.
I didn't mean that he should hire a security team.

Like if there is a intrusion at your home, you first secure all the entry and exit points even before calling cops.

I was asking him to secure his home(atleast make it harder)

True, i too had a media wiki install running, removed it now
wikis are big security hole
