This is probably some script kiddie with a canned exploit for Joomla.

Bemani is a town in Iran.

You really should patch that box.  Hopefully it's a just a defacement at
this point, but if you leave its ass hanging in the wind, spammers and 
phishers will eventually find it and use it for more nefarious purposes.

It's not an "experiment" to leave it unsecured; it's irresponsible.
