I've used Joomla nearly as long as you have. In the J2x days, I had multiple sites (different hosts) get hacked. It's been good since. After my experience many years ago and after a Wordpress experience, I do a lot to keep things secure. Dedicated managed hosting. Firewall. Regular back ups. Monthly update of installed software. Jooolma core updates. It's a lot but it isn't. It's, perhaps, an hour each month to give this kind of attention to the website. Occasionally, there will be an issue that requires more attention or a more serious migration needed for the core CMS. The hosting company also has a schedule for backups too. And with all that, things can still happen.Hello everyone, I hope I don't get bullied for asking or delivering this.
I have been using Joomla since 2006 from Joomla 1.5. Now I am using Joomla 5 for several projects.
I noticed that on several websites that use Joomla 4 and Joomla 5, it is very easy to hack. Hackers can easily change the index.php, .htaccess files, add new folders in the root, and files in the default Joomla folder.
What about the Joomla masters in this forum? Do you have any opinions? Thank you.
