The Joomla! development team have advised that all users upgrade to the latest version of 1.0.12 which includes features:

• 140+ General Bug Fixes
• Several low level security fixes
• A full security audit of SQL queries
• SSL switchover support
  

If you are using Joomla! 1.0.11, it is recommend that you upgrade to 1.0.12 as it addresses several long standing bugs and several low level security issues.

A new Security Announcements Forum. has also been announced will be used for security announcements for the Joomla! core and third party extensions. You are strongly encouraged to register on forum.joomla.org and subscribe to this forum to ensure that you receive notification of important security issues.

So you have just installed Joomla and created a cool web design template but you are missing something, yes those cool 3rd party components and modules. But before you visit the Joomla extensions web site and install as many components as you can find take a step back and consider the following. 

1) Visit the offical 3rd Party/Non Joomla! Security Issues forum area which will provide you with a list of the 3rd party components which may have security issues.

2) Only install what you need, dont go crazy with components and modules. If you plan to install a component or module for testing purposes then make you remove it once you have completed the testing.

3) Always check the offical 3rd party component developers web site for the latest security updates and upgrades.

Hope this helps.
