I don't see how as it is the default directory name for vb.
It's been suggested you don't use the default directory though just to provide an extra layer of security. I have mine in a non-default location, htaccessed and with no links anywhere to it on my site. How would the googlebot ever find the location?
Considering all the brute force tools available to script kiddies I say out of sight, out of mind.
All they would have to do was know any names of the default files in the admincp directory and they could find the directory that way. So even that isn't failsafe.

If they can get on the server, they can find the directory. There is no foolproof way to stop someone who wants to get to it bad enough. All you can do is slow them down. But good luck with your theory.
