    Pay hundreds of dollars to get software to install into your server.

    use software thats up to date
    use impossible to guess passwords
    never ever give anyone your login info

    Hello,

    Never use dictionary names in a password.

    start with a number mix it in with letters and end it in a number.

    Websites get hacked because they use passwords like joseph1, joseph, mycar, elephant22 etc etc

    If these guys have software running that guess the passwords it will be harder to find if your using a mix of numbers and letters.

    Hope this helps

    Joe

    Wrong! Firewall/antivirus etc is like a good lock only. Attacker can broke your lock. Security is a processingm not product.
    Right and wrong.
    Ex: Hackers exploit forum bug and get encrypted password, if your password is strong, hackers cannot crack to know your real password but they can fake cookies.
