I can't stress the things said in there ^^ enough. They're extremely important and will significantly reduce your chances of being hacked.

I also recommend using different passwords for your host's client, cPanel, and your forum super admin account. Use random generated passwords, and write them down or keep them in a locked Excel document on your computer. Use passwords like:

s*1xH0+q@>eYaQO49!(sa\}

It would take something like 80 years for a computer to brute force that. (I read that somewhere)

What version were you running??

i was running 1.6.1 i am now running 1.6.2

and used all your help
