1. Use strong passwords.
2. Ensure files are properly chmod'ed.
3. .htaccess the admin and mod CPs.
4. Run the absolute latest version of vB and frequently the latest versions of PHP, MySQL, CPanel, etc.
5. Do not install any hacks unless absolutely necessary and even then, ensure that they are written by a user who has a clear knowledge of vB and general security.
