Just read a book last night written by a fellow who goes by the handle “JoomlaJabber” in the world of open source content management systems.  His real name is Tom Canavan and his book on disaster recovery planning and security for websites based on Joomla is outstanding.  All of my sites (except this one) use Joomla and I continue to be impressed by this code base.   Like me, Canavan has had his share of problems with script kiddies and others who hack exploits in Joomla on an ongoing basis. Making the base code fault tolerant and hacker proof is a major undertaking, but Canavan does a good job of setting out the basics of Joomla site protection and recovery.

I heartily recommend this book as a companion to your Joomla installation. Make your sys admin (assuming it isn’t you) read it from cover to cover.
