Joomla! monitoring systems
A method of ensuring your site hasn’t been compromised is to use a file monitoring system. We are currently using and recommending to our Joomla! clients the Eyesite component.
This is a great little component that stores information about the files within your site, including: size, creation and modified dates. Then every time it runs, if there is a difference or change the information is displayed for you to either approve or reject. Making it easy to identify any files added to your domain without your consent.
If you are also hosted on a compatible server you can set-up a Cron job to run the Eyesite scan automatically and then email you the results. A fantastic feature if you don’t log into your site every couple of days or weeks. Click the following link to find out more: Eyesite
Although this component is no longer listed within the JED system, this component gets 5 out of 5 stars from the Team at Rhye Media!
If you have any further queries about how you can monitor your site, feel free to contact us via online form, Facebook, Twitter, G-mail, e-mail, Skype or phone; all details can be found on our Contact page.
