Influx of Security Issues all tied to the same thing

I have 15 websites most are php and have admin control panels , recently i got an email from one of the softwares where they were basically flipping out and told all its members to change the name of its admin directory from admin/

im thinking whats the big deal then the same day another one of my softwares sends out a notice to all its users about the same exact thing !

this got me thinking real good about it and all the stuff you have to do to pull off a rename of the admin directory .... so 2 days later which is today another one of my software developers send out the same thing again !

not sure what has happened recently but it seems like all php software developers are requesting the admin directories renamed

So now we have vBulletin !!! with an admin directory named admin on 99% of our sites so what are we going to do about it?
