My install of FudForum 2.7.6 has been hacked into 3 times in the last 3 months!
The index.php file inside of the forum web directory keeps getting replaced with the hackers one. I have the forum files 'locked', but it makes no difference. My hosting provider tells me that because the ownership of the forum files is set to 99 (i.e.the web server) it is unsecure and open to hacking. Is this true? My hosting is 'virtual' so there are many other sites hosted on the same server.

can the ownership of forum files be changed to something else?
I love the ease of use with FudForum and don't want to have to change to another script Sad

Thanks for any info

Charles
