Hello
We have a problem with our website and a fraudulent activity by h
the previous webmaster. He has created the website on a combination of 2 of our domains !!!
He has redirected the website from our hoste;s control panel to the page he has created using Joomla
now the problem is that we cannot reach him and get access to the loggin, email address and password he used
but the website and original domains are ours.
Our hoste asked us to contact you... what can we do to get access to the pages he created on Joomla and we need to urgently update the website but we are unable to
Many thanks

If you do not own the Hosting Account it's installed on, you are in deep trouble. Access to the Database and Hosting Account is needed.

Joomla.org has nothing to do with this. You have to contact the hosting company.

Thanks Per
I have contacted our host and tried to access the page the webmaster created from their Platform.
There is a link to Joomla.org asking for login credential.
The hosting company hasn't got the login credential details he used for Joomla
We are also unable to contact the webmaster and need to amend the website
Is there a way to contact Joomla.org to give us access to te website ?
Thanks

The site is run by Siteground.

joomla.org is a community and not a company. We do not offer hosting.
Joomla should be downloaded and installed on your own hosting account.
How long ago was this site installed?
A demo site at
demo.joomla.org will expire in 90 days. See the link for the Terms of Service.
If the site is installed somewhere else, check the owner of the ip address to find what hosting company is hosting it.
