It's strange, not all my directories chmod have been modified Just about 10 in all my articles.

I don't know the origin of that : Akeebabackup ?

Having been hacked since some weeks I got a bad plugin : dvmessage (system plugin).

I'm afraid that the change of chmod is a consequence of the plugin.

Good permissions for media folders are 755 and 644 for files

image field in v2.0.0 is setting folder permissions to 0755

but for files it leaves phpThumb default , which should be right, but i have seen 2 people reporting that their thumbnails are unreadable and not viewable ... they must have a but server setup, PHP should be runned as SU-EXEC , we will investigate this ...

This sounds like an ownership issue not permissions.

Are you using Joomla FTP layer ?
- Avoid it and instead make sure that your server is running in PHPSUEXEC mode

To overcome problem please restore "old" chmod code in image.php plugin file (plugins/flexicontent_fields/image/image.php)
(i will need to chekc why neew code fails)

Find this at about line 1598

Code:

if ( !isset($destpaths_arr[$destpath]) && JPath::canChmod($destpath)) 
{
	chmod($destpath, '0755'); //JPath::setPermissions($destpath, '0644', '0755');
}

and change to

Code:

if ( !isset($destpaths_arr[$destpath]) && JPath::canChmod($destpath)) 
{
	JPath::setPermissions($destpath, '0644', '0755');  
}

This line gives unexpected results:
chmod($destpath, '0755')

because it should have been

chmod($destpath, 0755)

(second parameter must OCTAL integer)

Just the Joomla API function takes string that create confusing when we updated code for performance reasons
