My Board was HACKED Twice today!!

[Chris M]

I am the only Administrator, but I have one Co-Admin (Arunan), and soon to be another Co-Admin, my current SuperMod cillianok

As a rule, 1 guy in charge works better

Also, perpetually be up to date on vB versions and never install a hack unless you absolutely need it.

.htaccess the admin cp dir

You can have all of the admins you want ... just be smart about the way you administer your passwords. Change them often ... that's the trick.

[Talisman]

So there's no other way to get in? The only possibility is by using an admin password?

get avg anti-virus and make sure there isn't a trojen sitting on your system.

Yet another fact to enforce the rule that you should never have another administrator

I would have disagreed with you a few months ago but I've learnt my lesson.

I have 8 other Senior Admins, but they have a very restricted Admin CP, and cannot add or remove other Admins. I am in my own Founder usergroup, with full privileges. Also, .htaccess password-protect the admin directory like someone else said.

Same kind of thing as me (hence my Lesser Admin CP hack)

Besides - Your board isn't hellsatan-proof Erwin

I have other 3 other admins on each of my sites, all of whom are people I know in real life and see on a regular basis.

On the off chance that someone got into my sites like that, I still don't worry about it, since everything is backed up to tape drives on a nightly cycle. The worst thing that could ever happen is a loss of 23 hours worth of data, if a hack occured right before the nightly backup.
