Protecting Forum From Hackers

[Nocturnal222]

hello

how can we secure the forum from hackers?

There's several things you could do, I'm sure.

One would be changing the AmdinCP and ModCP locations. Rename those folders to something different, and then change:


$config['Misc']['admincpdir'] = 'admincp';
$config['Misc']['modcpdir'] = 'modcp';


to reflect your changes.
[EDIT] That's in config.php



Choose a strong password for your account, and make sure your Staff does the same for their accounts. Maybe require the Staff to change their password every X amount of days.
