Hi,

I found file - akeeba_backend.php in JOOMLA tmp catalog.

There is code

<?php die; ?>

Is it OK or I was hacked?

Regards

Hello Miroslaw,

this is a temporary file created by Akeeba Backup to store backup info during page loads.
It is perfectly safe, don't worry.

Hi,

what if I have AdminTools installed only and no Akeeba Backup?

Is it OK too?

Yes, since the PHP Scan feature is using a part of Akeeba Backup platform to scan the site.
Again, don't worry about it
