So what happened? How did it get hacked and will I lose any data?

There are many reasons a Joomla website can get hacked but 9 times out of 10 it is because it hasn't been maintained properly and security patches haven't been kept up to date. The more complicated a Joomla website is, the more plugins and extensions it may use. If these are not kept up to date this can leave the website vulnerable. Most hacks are not even performed by people but by 'bots' or other computers on the internet searching for vulnerable websites to exploit. So simply restoring a website to it's former state will not stop the hackers. More often than not they will be straight back in and hack it again.

On the plus side, most of the time you wont lose any data either. Usually the database is intact and if not your hosting company will have a backup. More often than not the hackers change some lines of code and stop the website from displaying. The most common hack is to exploit insecure code and upload their own files to the server so they can send spam email. Why do they do it? Who knows. I don't think i have ever met anyone who thought "I'm really glad I received that spam email this morning, I really need to buy some Viagra".

So is Joomla a secure platform?

Yes. In fact very secure but like anything, if it is not maintained properly you can experience problems. It would be like asking, is a BMW a reliable car? Yes, but if you never take it for a service it will break down.
