!!URGENT!! ALL 1.5 JOOMLA USERS PLEASE READ

[SYSMAN_MK]

There have been a number of members that have had their Joomla 1.5 based websites hacked.

The Edugeek package is created using the current version of Joomla available at the time. So when security updates are released your installation will become out of date and vulnerable to any security holes that have been discovered by the Joomla developers.

To update your site to the current most secure version please go to the website below and download and install the required files needed to update your Joomla install to the most current version.

Yes this is the exploit.

If you need a secondary link just let me know also, feel i've wasted by bandwidth limits these past 6 months, need my moneys worth

[daboroe]

Yes this is the exploit.

once security releases are released to the public if everyone would upgrade we would not have issues with sites getting hacked because they run the older software.
