Security in Joomla! 3.x • Contact Form vulnerability

Maybe this item has already been posted. I haven't checked in in awhile. But I was informed this AM that my site was hacked, and sure enough it was, just a big ugly black page claiming the hack.



I went into my Host CPanel and looked around to see if I could find where the vulnerability came from. I noticed several hits from Sexy Contact Form, which I had installed, but did NOT have published.



I ended up having to pay $50 to one of the partners of my hosting company to repair.



Anyway, it is fixed. I did a search about Sexy Contact Form and found that it is vulnerable. I immediately deleted it from my site.
