Hello I have installed some mods and now have this thought/fear that these are going to my my board vulnerable to a hack. How can I make my board the most secure even if I have these mods installed?

As well I have done a lot of template edits and such and was wondering if doing any of this can cause someone to be able to easily hack it?

Please give me some insight, I'm a bit worried :(

Now here are the mods I'm using:

Chatbox
Collapsable First Post using AJAX
Inactive User Reminder Emails
PhotoPlog Pro
Right Side Column
Separate Sticky and Normal Threads
Tri-Use Box
vBSEO
vBSEO sitemap generator
Welcome Panel Template Rewrite

Which chatbox are you using?

None of them seem to have known exploits

Actually, there's one that actually does. I just have to search and find it. A friend of mines website got hacked when he installed the shoutbox. Took him a few days to figure out where they entered his site. I'll find and post the shoutbox he used later.

To make it the most secure just .htaccess protect every file from every member :p

Mmmmm.....How about blocking ANYONE? ;)
order deny, allow
deny from all

Back on topic, none of those have any reported vulnerabilities. And I don't have the time to check them at the moment.
