Content management system Joomla patched a zero-day vulnerability that allowed attackers to upload malicious code that led victims to the Blackhole exploit kit.
A nasty Joomla vulnerability was recently patched, but not before attackers used a zero day exploit to take over tens of thousands of sites and redirect victims to the Blackhole exploit kit, according to security company Versafe.
Most of the attacks were against financial institutions in Europe, the Middle East and Asia and stemmed from an initial attack against 100 Joomla-hosted websites.

Joomla vulnerabilities have been a particular problem; 57 percent of the attacks Versafe has seen this year have come from sites hosted on the platform, up from 41 percent last year.
