Greetings,

since running an update of easyblog I have been unable to view my site's front and back ends.

I will reinstall the site from backup. I just wanted to let you know it completely disabled my site. No front-end, no back-end.
I am using Joomla 2.5

(1) installed latest version easyblog
(2) made new post
(3) logged out of admin
(4) site gone ...cannot be browsed
(5) cannot access admin
Hello Duncan Mackay,

This is odd. Can you provide us ftp access and backend access as well after you finished reinstalled the site from backup? We will update your site for you.

I am sorry and please be advise.
Thanks.

I have noticed that since the patch I have been hacked by Gantengers Crew ..... previous backups have none of their files. Are you sure the new version is secure?

Hello Duncan Mackay,

What do you mean by new version is secure? If it is safe or not in term or installation part, yes, it is since many users already upgrade to the latest version.

Please be advise.
Thanks.

Hello, thanks for your interest in my problem.

My question about security was based on the sequence of events. (1) site works normally (2) install latest Easyblog (3) site goes offline (4) investigate problem and find site hacked ...all this happened in minutes of each other. Perhaps they are not related. But it seemed strange that I got hacked immediately after upgrading Easyblog....therefore I wanted to ask if about security.

So I am glad you are confident in the version - also I hope this is not happening to others.

I have reinstalled the site and will try the upgrade again.

Regards,
D. Mackay
