    Site hacked--advice welcome

    Posted 15 years 10 months ago
    • Hey there,

      It appears my site was hacked twice. Yesterday they replaced the admin login and password. Today they had a new password.

      So, now I'm going to upgrade from 1.5.3 to 1.5.12. I have the TerraTribune template. Do I need to do anything special when I upgrade?--I can't recall if TT requires me to change anything in the Joomla files.

      I don't see any damage done by the hacker. Is there anything specific I should be looking for?

      Any other obvious things I can do to block the hacker?

      The site is www.mydomain.com

    • Great, thanks.

      Now...is there a way to delete this thread (based on recommendations in the link)?

      Thanks!

    • I have edited the link to the domain, I have the idea that that will suffice.
