I didn't know where to add this so admin, you can do what you think is necessary.

This is a warning to kenyan site owners running their websites on Joomla.

There is a hacker running around the net looking for kenyan websites running on joomla. they aren't targeting the site to bring it down but to add a phising script on the server.

This is what they are using a google function on co.ke websites to find your site. Once they do this they can easily find out the other sites the developer runs on joomla even if they are dot coms.

they then try to hack into your server.

You need to urgently update your joomla websites to the latest versions. its version .17 so update it today.

Just got a guy who's site was banned by their host. took a whole day convincing the host that the client does not know what a server, a joomla or a website is. He was just dumped by his designer after the work was done.

So contact your designer and have your joomla updated immeadiately.

Noted...

Thats very serious coz there are hundreds of Joomla sites in this country... most of which are unsecured let alone updated!

sorry about that wally5 that happens and its no biggie.

For those who are having errors after upgrading to 1.15.17 such as "restricted access", pm me for a quick fix.

Thanks Alma. I was actually doing my website on Joomla .5. Very informative.
