Emergency Maintenance due to recent Joomla! Exploits

[NIS-Francisco]

Hello,

We're currently undergoing Emergency maintenance on our servers due to recent hacks on Joomla! Content Management System hosted on our servers.

We will update you shortly once this has been resolved. Sites might load slow or not show up at all for short time (minutes).

Thanks

The maintenance is over.

We must insist that you MUST upgrade your Joomla! / Mambo install to the latest version AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to prevent:

a) Your site from being hacked
b) Possible lost of data (we do weekly backups only)
c) Your account being suspended due to hackers using your account to send SPAM.

Note that in some cases the password you use in Joomla! is the same you use in your control panel, allowing the hacker to ACCESS YOUR CONTROL PANEL without your concern. And setting up new cron jobs or worse, creating FTP accounts.

Thanks.
Francisco
