Along with the info above per
http://dev.geekpoint.net/articles/vb...curity-tips-i/ (Thanks joshskeety) you should also rename your config file and move it

use the search here for rename config.
chmod as the link says and also htaccess protect all your folder with a redirect utilizing an index.html so all folders have an idex file AND a redirect back to your forums

.
Also, the less mods the less likely to get hacked tbo but that depends on several factors. No matter what you move and or rename always.. ALWAYS leave a fake/dummy copy in place so they waste all their time on a useless admin or modcp lol and if you renamed and moved the config leave a dummy one up with fake yet real looking info
