Is your website still running Joomla 3 or 4? 2026 has been a rough year for older Joomla sites. Automated tools have been scanning the web around the clock, finding outdated versions and vulnerable extensions, and breaking in without ever needing a login.
We recently saw one of these "Hacked by" defacements firsthand on an older Joomla site. The scary part isn't the defaced homepage. It's what often comes with it: hidden backdoors, Google warnings, lost rankings, and cleanup costs that can run higher than a planned upgrade would have.
In our latest article, we explain why these attacks happen, the warning signs to watch for, and your options for upgrading Joomla or moving to WordPress.
