There’s a serious security issue affecting older versions of the popular CMS Joomla.
If you are using Joomla please take the time to check the software version, as older versions are susceptible to a serious security issue
Users on our DirectAdmin servers may opt to use the upgrade system within Installatron, however we are urging ALL Joomla users to check their sites and upgrade ASAP.
