How to start protecting your Joomla Site<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Always keep Joomla core up-to date<\/li>\n
  2. Always make sure you run the latest patched\u00a0versions of extensions<\/li>\n
  3. Make sure you choose strong passwords for all\u00a0logins<\/li>\n
  4. Check your own website for vulnerabilities<\/li>\n
  5. Always check the webserver’s log files for\u00a0potential hack attempts<\/li>\n
  6. Secure your server if you host your Joomla\u00a0website on a VPS or even a dedicated server<\/li>\n
  7. Create a list of all extensions you use and\u00a0try to monitor them. For example you can use\u00a0Google or security websites for staying\u00a0informed about the latest vulnerabilities.\u00a0Only use secure extensions.<\/li>\n
  8. Use SEO for URL’s.\u00a0Activate the SEO features, use SEF URLs<\/li>\n
  9. Furthermore most tools and scanners are not able to\u00a0work with search engine friendly URLs<\/li>\n
  10. This might be a big surprise, but with these\u00a0measures you already gained a decent protection\u00a0level.<\/li>\n
  11. The last things to do would be to rename the Joomla\u00a0backend folder from “administrator” to may be\u00a0“admin_acp_1234567” in order to prevent script kiddies\u00a0and scanners from finding your Joomla backend.<\/li>\n
  12. And, last but not least, protect the PHPMyAdmin\u00a0login (if you have any) with .htaccess files.\u00a0You can’t do this with the Joomla admin control\u00a0panel since some components need to have access to\u00a0administrator\/components.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
