Updating Your Joomla Site

Updating Joomla can be a daunting task, but it is necessary to keep your site secure. As of this writing, all but the latest version of Joomla have commonly-exploited security holes.

If you are unlucky enough to be the target of such an exploit, the attackers will gain full access to your files (including your email) and full access to your database. They may install malicious code in your site to distribute viruses and other malware, which can garner the dreaded 'This Site May Harm Your Computer' or use your site as a vector to commit other intrusions. In this case,an ounce of prevention is worth many pounds of cure.
