Keep Software Installations Updated

May 23rd, 2007

Recently, we have mentioned increased hacker activity caused by non-updated versions of Joomla hosted by customers of ours in their hosting accounts. Our system administrators took the corresponding measures and launched protection purposed to prevent such activity from affecting our system. Anyway, there are customers using mod_rewrite and the protection may not work properly for them. That is why we would like to remind you that you must always keep your software installations up-to-date.

According to our Terms&Conditions, account that is not secure and is used to violate the system or network security, is subject of immediate suspension.

Additional information about the exploit is available at http://www.frsirt.com/english/advisories/2005/2473
