    Have you experience that when you are going to post in an article site and you will find out that the article site was have been hacked by this particular person or group of people who do the hacking thing in able to proved that they can rule over the net. Its quite alarming because the number of hacked site are become more and more, what is your thoughts about this?

    As long as there are scripts there will be exploits , as long as there is exploits there will be webmasters that do not take the time to take care of the scripts.

    I Was hacked about a year ago on one of my Joomla sites, its a nightmare when it happens i agree

    Even scarier- I went to check on my earnings from an affiliate site only to find that it had been hacked. The site was down for over a day.

    I have seen some social bookmarking sites and press release sites hacked. Their scripts might be a problem

    I also experienced this especially when I submitting articles on article submission sites. I don't know why they are doing this. I rather to be spammed than to be hacked.

    They wanted to be known and get famous in that field (just a quick guess). Hacking is scary but spamming are annoying. I hate both of them.

    I suggest that upgrading to a custom solution is the best. Open source code are they target mostly because hackers have full access to the code. Changing the coding will help so that the hackers do not know what was changed to be more secure.

    When I am submitting articles or website link in different directories, I also encountering such "attacked website" like that. I think it is due to poor server security.

    I think they are hacked it's because hackers can easily enter the security of your site as well the article submission site's hosting.

    I think internet security must be improved in order to protect our websites from being hacked.
