Question about security

[Joeychgo]

How much do I have to worry about being hacked?

What measures should I take to prevent that?

I am on a remote host, www.lunarpages.com

I saw your duplicate post on the vbulletin.com forums but to rehash...

Being secure is being logical - install upgrades as they come;check the code any addon/ hack users and be sure it too is safe, if you don't know, don't install it. Password protect your important folders with htaccess using random passwords (not your date of birth). Change all of your major passwords on a semi-frequent basis and most importantly, don't do things to draw "hackers" to you. People don't just want into your board unless you have one of those kind of sites, avoid them and they will pay you no attention.

Do what Ted suggested and also do backups frequently.
