Hi,
a friend of mine is running a Joomla based website http://www.DeutscheInMelbourne.net .
The first page renders fine on Windows and Apple devices
but has a full page of spam gibberish <a href>'s to the most wanted items if I believe in spam) before the header menu starts (so I have to scroll down to see any useful content)
I tried on two Ubuntu machines running Ubuntu 12.04, and tried Chrome and Firefox, always with the rubbish in it.
Stranger, it does not even appear in the page source if I look at it using Windows or Apple machines.
I did not look at the server yet (and my friend isn't an IT expert) but I find it that weired that I don't have a slightest idea what the cause might be.
Peter The site has been hacked.
I am afraid so too.. I just find it very odd that the spam seems to be delivered to Linux machines only.. hmmh, at least I don't see it in the page source under Windows or Apple... Do you have an explanation for that? Regards Peter
