Is there any additional things, software, options that you can purchase to secure your site from being hacked, cracked?

Because im sure IFS and IFSK have tried to been hacked beofre. Can i back it up, and how would i do that? :)

Read http://invisionfree.com/index.php?p=art_sec
Read http://invisionfree.com/index.php?p=art_staff so you select staff carefully.

And keep in mind no IF staff will ever sign up on your board and ask for admin access.

Following the above advice would have prevented 95+% of the hackings I have investigated.

I've posted at forums and suggested that people give me access to their forum to help them, but I make it clear that they need to give me that access by pm'ing me here or by starting a support ticket.
That's the only way to know you're actually dealing with IF staff and not an impersonator.
And I would never ask for the root admin password or anything.
I always suggest making a temporary admin account and deleting it after things are fixed.

Remember the golden rules for passwords...

1. Have at least 2 numbers

2. Have at least 2 capital letters

3. Have at least 2 lowercase letters

and you should be fine.

It should only occur on this board or through a support ticket, otherwise you can not be sure it is who they claim to be.
