I mostly use these rules in my .htaccess: Options -Indexes ServerSignature Off Options +FollowSymLinks I like the ServerSignature option. Gives any hacker less information about your system.

Thanks for these great tips! I mostly use these rules in my .htaccess:

Options -Indexes
ServerSignature Off
Options +FollowSymLinks

I like the ServerSignature option. Gives any hacker less information about your system. Makes it way harder to hack into your website.

I've put some of your suggestions into place so let's see if that works. Just wondering.. Why don't you put a tweet button with your articles so I can easily tweet it? Any reason for that? .-= Sylvia´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EscalaWebStrategy/~3/3qwpeUd6MsI/" rel="nofollow">How to rank high in Google with the use of SEO</a> =-.

It also could happen through other outdated scripts installed in the same site or hosting account.

I'm just wondering how the hackers managed to come into my blogs? Through admin? Is that the most important thing to add extra protection to? What happened is that they put a wp file in one of the directories. And somehow that file created all kinds of links which looked like they were part of my site. The actual posts could not be found in the blog. .-= Sylvia´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EscalaWebStrategy/~3/3qwpeUd6MsI/" rel="nofollow">How to rank high in Google with the use of SEO</a> =-.
