Hello,

My account is a Joomla Super User account at the beginning since the site was built.

After I finished updating AdminTools from 5.6.0 to 5.7.3, I got kicked out from the Joomla Admin area. I tried to log back in, but I could not. Then I received the message below in my email.

Subject:  Super Users were added to xxxx site

Body:

We would like to notify you that we detected the suspicious addition of one or more Super User accounts to your site, XXXX. These new Super User accounts do not seem to have been created through the regular means, i.e. Joomla's “Users” page. Therefore they have been blocked. The new Super User accounts detected and blocked are:

  • #XX – aaaaa – aaaa aaaa <email>

Luckily, I have another Joomla Super User account to log back in and enable my account.

What cause this happen and how can I prevent this to happen again.

Thank you,

M

If you add - or modify - a super user's account while Admin Tools is disabled, the account is flagged as suspicious.  When you activate the user again, it will clear the flag.
