First thing the hacker does is to know the system. Then check the version
and finally sees if there is any known hole in that version and uses that and if not he finds one.
So If you use Joomla, WP, Drupal et al make sure that you upgrade security patches/fixes as soon as they get out.
Good Example:
ikulublog.com
CMS: Wordpress
Version: 3.5.1
For now there is yet a known hole but the guys have to watch once one find one, they are in danger.
Permanent solution is coding custom CMS that does not share its weakness worldwide and hence a bit more safe!
