The very same thing just happened to me. I tried to overwrite my server administration files with my localhost administration files – and that just made things worse.
Luckily I have everything backed-up . . . so, THANK YOU for the tip on going into PHPMyAdmin.

August 23, 2008 at 12:52 am #266813Joomla 1.5.5 had a serious security problem that created all the hacked sites you are hearing about. It only took them 6 hours to come out with Joomla 1.5.6 to correct the problem and anyone on 1.5.5 better upgrade right away.

September 2, 2008 at 11:36 am #268291Hackers could simply search for “com_user” on google, it would display Joomla sites then they would try to invade using the known Joomla exploit on 1.5.5 versions and below.
