Admin Password Hack Vulnerability in Joomla 1.5
I’m only posting this because the impossible happened to me today. Running Joomla 1.5 I ran into one of these so called Hackers. (nice try) Well trying to destroy info and uninstalling of components, I managed to switch the account to suspended.  Buying me enough time to fix this leak. Now not only is this a critical fix released last year by the joomla.org team but a very good lesson learnt too. Learn to back up your websites, db and lookout for critical updates for your Joomla version. (Or even update it) A flaw in the reset token validation mechanism...
