A lot depends on which CMS you use. My Joomla sites were all hacked recently. - Subversive (221 lbs) May 13, 21:28 3
- Yeah Joomla were hit by the same attack. What security measures? -- nm - Qale May 13, 21:44 2
  - There's a plugin which redirects the administrator login page from /administrator to /administrator?secretwordofyourchoosing - Subversive (221 lbs) May 13, 21:51 1
    - A quick search didn't appear to show that I had the same options. I'm still following the developments, and deciding on what to do next. -- nm - Qale May 13, 22:05
are you the only client on the server, if not they may have got in via another site - Karl May 13, 20:38 5
- No, shared server. Which is one of the common links with all the attacks I've been suffering through. -- nm - Qale May 13, 20:39 4
  - Have you hard passworded your wireless modem and set a WEP key? - Trish May 13, 21:11 3
    - Not wireless. The general consensus is that it's a shared host problem, which is really troubling. I'd switch webhosts if I thought - Qale May 13, 21:13 2
      - Just my opinion, but it's unlikely to be your webhosts fault. More likely a flaw with the CMS like I mentioned above. - Subversive (221 lbs) May 13, 21:53 1
        
        I'm quite certain it is the webhosts fault at this point. Here's the latest. - Qale May 13, 23:03
