A site can only be attacked if the software that is using allows the attack. You can divide the software of a site in two parts: - The operational system - Your software Using Windows as operational system is a nightmare, because is unsecure and full of doors opened for hackers access. You never will be able to have a secure Windows applying all the released Microsoft patches, the only way to have a secure Windows is to edit Windows turning it into a non coventional and particular Windows and is possible to do it. If you are using Linux or BSD as operational system solves the first part of the security problem remaining the second part, your software. A secure operational system doesn't make miracles, it is unable to protect you if your software is unsecure. If your software is unsecure and you are attacked the only difference between running a secure operational system will be: - Secure operational system Your site will be attacked or hacked, but the attack remain limited only to you. - Unsecure operational system Your site will be attacked or hacked and the attack can be propagated to other users of the same unsecure operational system. The other combinations are if your sofware is secure: - Unsecure operational system You can be attacked because the attack comes through the operational system and not your software. - Secure operational system You never will be attacked. A simple question: Have ever the Renderosity site been attacked or hacked??? I never knew that this happened, only MySQL has gone away and nothing more! What does it means? Renderosity is running a secure operational system (Linux) and the site software (Bondware) is secure.

Stupidity also evolves!
