JOOMLA SECURITY ALERT PLEASE READ

If you are running JOOMLA on any of the DataWebPRO servers please
beware that both Joomla and Mambo have come under attack in the
past few weeks. This is a serious issue that can result in site
defacements to more serious account and server security breaches.
The first step you must take to secure your Joomla or Mambo
Installation is to upgrade to the latest version of Joomla
1.0.10. You can upgrade in one of two ways. If you performed your
installation from Fantastico in Cpanel, log back into Fantastico
and choose the Joomla installer. You should see an option to
upgrade. You can also visit http://joomla.org and download the
latest upgrade and perform it manually.

ALL JOOMLA ACCOUNTS MUST BE UPGRADED.

The problem isn’t so much with the Joomla application as it is
with the many modules and components developed for the program.
Most hacks are coming through outdated or compromised plugins.
Here is a short list of know plugins that are being used to
exploit Joomla. You need to check for updates of these plugins
and upgrade or remove them from your installation until a secure
