Is Joomlaboard 1.1.2 also affected or not ? Only Joomlaboard 1.1.1 or less ?

Did you test the attack on this version like Elpie did?

According to the report it is 1.1.1.  It is probably accurate.

Am I crazy or is Joomlaboard  1.1.2 gone from the download area? I need to upgrade but do not know where to get the file now
Is it bad too?

Thanks!

there seem to be sooo many ways to attacvk joomla, do you think it will ever be possible to be completly safe?

Nothing you put on a public server is EVER going to be completely safe. But there's a lot of things you can do to reduce the risk of attack.

3rd Party components are often a likely route of attack, so you need to know what you've got installed and make sure you keep it up to date.

Besides which... you're commenting on a post which is over a year old... and specifically about a component which has been LONG AGO upgraded and replaced with the new Fireboard component.
So, I guess the REAL answer is NO... Joomla/your site will ALWAYS be vulnerable IF you insist on using out-of-date components like JoomlaBoard. Get updated. And quickly.
