Coppermine Gallery Hacked -- Further Protection

[freesouljah]

Hi,

Someone defaced my coppermine gallery today...they somehow logged into one of the admin accounts and toggled some of the options.

I have changed all the passwords, but to add another barrier, I decided to password protect my config.php, searchnew.php, util.php, and banning.php files using the formats found @ http://www.ssi-developer.net/htaccess/htaccess_protection_file.shtml & http://www.sitedeveloper.ws/tutorials/htaccess.htm

I hope this can be of some use to others....also, should I protect anyother files?


peace
