Hi,

I have some error logs that I am not familiar and thought maybe it is being hacked. 

Is anyone familiar with this error?

I am thinking of purchasing the plugin 'Exploit scanner', but it hasn't been updated since 2014.

Will it still be useful?

Hi hiroko, 

Hackers use "vulnerability scanners" to look for exploitable websites.  What the scanners do is try thousands or URLs searching for known programs with security issues.  Those URLs look like they're intended to exploit joomla.

So you should be safe, you could check to see what the error generated was and resolve that.  It might be a missing record number or something like that.

I don't think you need to get Exploit Scanner in this case.

Hope that helps!
