Nothing is 100% full proof. Luckily most hackers are simply looking for easy targets. Most of those hackers are just kids at home with a few things they've learned along the way. The key there is for us to try and hide our login pages from view of search engines and other users. Also, we need to customize our cookie-cutter blogs some so hacks that work on other blogs won't work on ours. (like I'm sure you already know) But yep, if someone is a real pro and dedicated to this, no where really is safe. You’re right, Jim. Nothing is 100% full proof.

Cath, nice to see you somewhere besides your blog or mine. :) The thing about Cutts is; You have to understand that if someone/some group is after you, you will be hacked... Unless you do nothing but security. Most people, including me sometimes (really only WP, my network and systems are pretty secure, don't test me :) ), tend to not think about security the way it should be. We think that the software will take care of us, but then we don't upgrade our software.

I noticed on the front page of that search that Matt Cutts was even hacked. When I first started blogging I didn't have a clue how easy it was for someone to hack a blog. I guess that because the basics seemed so complicated, I just didn't think anything that complicated was possible. Hi John – that is scary.
