Topic Website Security

Cheers

I have a forum and I am kind of scared that it will get hacked or something like that. I have heard that some people actually hacks forums.

So, what should I do to protect my forum or my website? Is there anything I can do to prevent hacking?

Keep it updated with the latest patches at all times...
Outdated forums scripts are "easy prey" for hackers and script kiddies...

What kind of forum software do you use?

Updated scripts can be safe from script kiddies but all scripts can be hacked if one really tries. I guess the best safety net we have against malicious hackers is to regularly back-up our websites.

BTW, does anybody know what is the most "hackable" forum script?
