Why Joomla is still targeted

Automated campaigns scan CMS instances with outdated extensions. Priority one is shrinking attack surface: fewer plugins, strict patch cadence, and least-privilege permissions.

Execution plan

  • Patch Joomla core and extensions weekly
  • Protect admin access with MFA and network controls
  • Enable WAF plus centralized logging
  • Run daily file integrity scans

Keep an incident runbook ready before the first alert.
