Affected versions range from Joomla 1.5 to 3.4.5. If you run a Joomla instance of 1.5 to 3.4.5 then we HIGHLY recommend you update your install of joomla right now and apply the security patch. Otherwise, your site could be hacked.

Luckily, if you are a customer of Servers Australia and on a server management plan, we can do this for you, otherwise we recommend you contact your developer or admin to have this issue fixed as soon as possible.
