Bogus Admin Account

Post by armstrongsrus » Sat Feb 12, 2011 4:22 pm

On logging in to the backend of joomla 1.6 today we found a new user account for a super admin with showing an email address as follows

xBSq_ then our email address

The Super user was not enabled but was activated. We are unable to explain how this happened.

Any suggestions?
