Yes Paul,

Sometimes, it doesn't have to be a hack like SQL injection or buffer overflow - just walk into an open door!

Security starts with the simple things like common sense.
Engineers and doctors go to jail for simple mistakes........ ask Dr. Conrad Murray.

Kind regards,
Bernard

Hi,

Either - weak / default admin password of the CMS (Drupal, Joomla, etc) - trivial

Or - SQL injection attack that also exploits the CMS - more complex

Kind regards,
Bernard
