Hi everybody,
There has been a very URGENT security problem with older versions of Joomla 1.5.x. Please upgrade Joomla 1.5.x to Joomla 1.5.6 immediately as the security hole allows other to access our websites very easily.

How to upgrade:
1. First, go to admin, Site-> Global Configuration, change Site Offline paramater to Yes
2. Go to http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/frs/ find patch package to upgrade
3. Upgrade that package to your website
4. Set Site Offline to No

For more information on the security problem, please find here.

please don’t forget to backup your site before you do this in case you get into problems after upgrading.
