What is a SQL Injection (SQLi)

SQL Injection is a powerful attack where hackers exploit vulnerable forms, search boxes, or URL parameters to inject harmful SQL commands. These commands interact directly with your database, allowing attackers to access or manipulate your data.

Why It’s Dangerous:

• Attackers can steal or delete data
• Entire databases can be exposed
• Can lead to full site compromise

How to Protect Yourself:

• Always update Joomla and extensions
• Use extensions from trusted developers that follow secure coding practices
• Enable Joomla’s built-in database security features
• Use a web application firewall (WAF)
