Today it was hacked, here's the screenshot: http://i34.tinypic.com/2pplgsp.jpg It's legit lol, I took it, now the website says "be right back". I would never imagine a website like this getting hacked, honest, any thoughts?
Well, dunno, they're down for few minutes now, I have no idea why would someone hack joomla.org, maybe just for fame ;-)
Yeah, they show "Be right back." currently on their homepage, seems like they really have been hacked...
I'm not a liar lol, twittered it too, http://twitter.com/sunlust and digg'd it too lol, http://digg.com/securit/Joomla_dot_org_got_hacked_today It's weird that internet is so quiet about it, seems like Joomla.org isn't as popular as I thought.
Hehe, maybe he's implying that it was Drupal's team that hacked Joomla, lol, now that would be funny.
Are you sure? nice screenshot. i didn't like Joomla anyways .. too complicated and buggy +slow. Hope it gets its warning though, their security for now its unbelievable , it totally sucks. Regards, SameerHosting.com
Yes it is back lol, it was down for few minutes and it's back up. Just today they redesigned the site, I wonder if it's somehow connected.
I hope joomla fail ... they have very unprofessional coded website ... maybe it's easy to maintain , but they are hackable !! Another try to make automated web ...
That's the problem isn't it? People got used to do it easy way but when things go wrong you have to get your hands dirty in the code again. It's all about keeping the balance I guess, I do use Joomla for time-saving reasons (not just laziness ) but I would like to change to other CMS, I just don't have time to search etc, and the ones recommended to me are either commercial or don't have as many features.
For all you saying "Why Would Anyone Do that?" Simply because they can. It's a statement from the Hackers saying that if they can hack the official Joomla site, why wouldn't they be able to hack sites powered by Joomla?
WHY HACKERS ARE HACKING ??? Simple .. hacked victims search solution for their security from same hackers , because they can provide this security For sites they can hack . May be site owners are angry on them , but they can nothing to do with that , they buy hacker's service .
