While I can't consider myself an expert in security (that's what you are), I don't think we have good (trained, and capable) personnel dealing with security. There are good electronic and telecommunications engineers, but "good" system engineers, NONE.<br /><br />By the way, is it Joomla! CMS fault? Any way to avoid future intrusions like this?<br /><br />Thanks for your very informative blog.

By the way, is it Joomla! CMS fault? Any way to avoid future intrusions like this?

Thanks for your very informative blog.
