A lot of my joomla and mambo websites are hacked. Does anyone else have the same problem

No, so far been lucky. Make sure you upgrade to the latest versions - some important security patches available.

I had one of my forums hacked yesterday.
It was an IPB forum and we found out how they got in. Fortunately we are pretty experienced so we stopped it right away and actually got a lot of the hackers info.
We actually had another guy try and hack also yesterday. Must have been on the same IRC or something.

Anyway we lost about a day of posts but that is it.

2 of the members had their forums hacked as well.

Must be something in the air!

Well, how did they get in/try to get in? Be nice if you could inform everyone so they know to look for something similar

In my case they cracked the password on an admins account.
The hacker changed the account password. He didnt know that the admins have access to the server so they were able to go in and lock out the hacker.
