Hello all!

One of my sites that use Master Bootstrap (Only one of many!) has been hacked, and seems to be via the template:

My website enMelgar.net got hacked via the template. This is the code as seen in the Source:

it generates really annoying redirects to Fake Ads. It already put my site way down in search engine results 😢

Does anyone have any idea about where in the template code something like that could be?

Additionally, Any ideas on how someone could inject that code there?


To find out it was in the template, I disabled all the external plugins and Modules and it was still there, so I changed to the Atom Template with all the modules and plugins active. Then I noticed the malicius code disapeared with Atom Template.



Cheers!

I need to correct myself here, was not in Master Bootstrap but in Protostar, a default template of Joomla!

Sorry about the spammy confusion!
