We helped fix 50+ Joomla Website’s that were HackedMany Many more Joomla based sites are being hacked daily at the moment - and ITS NOT JOOMLA’s fault!
Firstly let me say the sites were NOT hacked through Joomla! They were all hacked through Joomla Custom Components!
If you are running Joomla 1.0.10 then there are no known security holes in that version!

New Customer Centre, Old Updates page retiredWe are pleased to launch (albeit in a minimual version) our new customer centre where you can view all your transactions, download & print VAT Invoices (PDF) and download your products directly from our site. The reason for the change is the new fraud rules that we are slowly introducing (Yes even a site as small as ours gets many fraud credit card transactions per month!) and also the high number of false spam and false virus alerts that some servers are filtering our emails which have genuine software attached which has meant customers not getting their paid for software - the new customer centre resolves this as there are direct links to download software directly from your browser.
The security of download links is very important to us so we have implemented a 3 point check system (Developed by ourselves) This should protect us at the same time as providing you with a quicker method of getting update files. We have replaced the updates page with the new customer centre from today. The download links will deliver the latest available files of your chosen component.
After a purchase, an email will still be dispatched with software attached, we hope you get this, if not please visit the customer centre to download directly.
