I was hacked 27 times last month, spread across 4 domains. Took out all my forums.

2 forums was phpbb3 with no mods, one was SMF, and 1 modded phpbb3.

I then moved all my forums to VBulletin and was hacked yet again on every single account.

(you want to talk about fustrated?)

Finally i said enough is enough. I block all ftp acccess and shell access except from my IP.

(found out from the access logs they was using brute force to hack my forums and not even going through sql injection methods)

If you want to protect your server lock it down. install a firewall, put timeouts in place of anyone trying to access anything pw protected.
