    get a random password generator to create strong numeric rich character passwords..

    a friend of mine had this happen to him - a programmer he hired on GAF changed the pub ID on the site he worked on..

    You have password protect on your cpanel.

    It's True...

    The obvious question for the rest of us that arises from this thread is...

    Is there a list of steps for not-particularly-technical webmasters of how to best protect your site?

    Without proper computer knowledge from webmasters, stuff like this will happen everyday.

    It's incredibly easy to take any one of those websites in any of your sigs and hack them in a day.

    I see a few on this page that are so open to attack it's not funny.

    Enjoy

    The issues here are basically privacy and piracy.

    If one does not give the opportunities to the others to perpetuate thefts, statistically speaking one’s stuffs won’t be easily stolen.

    Pointless to report the matter to the Police (Google is this case) if one leaves the car/door keys (passwords in this case) behind.
