Hey all. I got a call today from a friend - he has a joomla website. Version : 1.08 . Not updated. His site is probably hacked. seems like a configuration file attack. Showing : This site is down for maintenance. Please check back again soon. I am affraid the site can be hacked seriously. What can I check to fix it ? Also the backend is showing the same temporary massege. Is upgrading to the 1.0.11 version in the current situation is reccommanded ? Thanks in advance for any help, Guy.
Read here http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board,267.0.html and if by chance you still not sure, best to ask there as well.
i would suggest everyone to update the security fixes for joomla as it has been a favorite for hackers to screw the joomla powerd websites
