At the moment there’s been no news, however they’ve pulled it down for “maintenance”

<blockquote> joomla.org is down for temporary maintenance.
We will be back online very shortly.

</blockquote>

For those interested I did a very very quick very very brief post on my blog – http://blog.miccas.net/2007/joomlaorg-hacked/

The permissions system of Joomla is not very good, and is emblematic of Joomla’s perspective on security issues. It is one reason why I have been reluctact to embrace Joomla for very long.

I remember a situation in one website, where there was heated feud among people who have the same level of control — as it turned out, someone was going about editing the posts of others, one irate member accussed another who in turn claimed he did not do it. And, the superadmin would not have a clue who was actually doing it either — because theire is no “paper trail” as to who did what; unless the webmaster really is tech-savvy and would take time to analyze the process.

And, that should even be much easier to resolve than the security problems of hacking itself, that is discussed here.

Unlike programs like TikiWiki (and some other other Wiki’s), Joomla and most CMS do not have a “historical archives” of edition of pages, in a Wiki, when a page is “edited” maliciously, someone who has power to do so can always rollback the page to a former good copy.

The problem was the Shop component. See http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,203290.0.html

yikes!

There’s a lesson to learn through this – only use the component’s you need and always update them!
