Safety and Security of a Homemade Content Management System
What is the status on the safety and security of a homemade programmed CMS system?
We just had one made up for our website, and yesterday, someone, somehow got in and edited a page with arabic garbage.
We are trying to figure out if it's our system that wasn't secure enough, or is it those hackers who are strong enough?
where can I find out more information?

you should get a programmer to look at the source code and servers, it could be anything from SQL injection, passwords that are too easy in the CMS or on the server, etc.
I agree. If you're on shared hosting, see if the hosting company knows about any problems. They often don't want to say but if you tell them, at least they'll know to look out for problems.
