How to prevent your Joomla 1.5.x website from being hacked?
There are two things you must do in order to keep you Joomla site safe and hack free.
1. Change default super admin
The default super admin number is '62' for all Joomla installs. There is a security risk if you don't change this.
First, go to the user manager then create a new super admin.
Second, login as the new super admin and then delete the default super admin created by Joomla.
2. Keep you Joomla up to date with the latest version
Simply go to this website:
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/frs/
Download the correct upgrade package.
Upload it to the root of your Joomla installation by FTP.
Unzip the uploaded file. Allow all files to replace existing ones
That's it you are done! You now have updated your Joomla site.
