Make your joomla site secure

1. Change the default database prefix (jos_)
2. Remove version number / name of extensions
3. Use a SEF(Search Engine Friendly) component
4. Keep Joomla! and extensions up to date
5. Use the correct CHMOD for each folder and file. This cofiguration should be used:

•  PHP files: 644
•  Config files: 666
•  Other folders: 755

6. Delete leftover files:

                  When you installed an extension that you didn't like, don't set the extension to unbublished. If you do, the vulnerable files will still be on your website. So simply use the un-install function to totally get rid of the extension.

7. Change your .htaccess file

                 Add the following lines to your .htaccess file to block out some common exploits.

                  

########## Begin - Rewrite rules to block out some common exploits

# Block out any script trying to set a mosConfig value through the URL
