I was waiting on some jackass with too much time on his hands to come to this thread and say something stupid. Thanks so much for that.

If you want to leave yourself open and not use something like BulletProof Sercurity, go ahead. It will not only help prevent, but also warn of potential site issues. (Did you actually take a look at what it protects against? Probably WP's most extensive plugin for security, and will stop most ways people are injecting code.) You made a mistake, live with it (not necessarily the one that caused your sites to be hacked - seems a lot of recent hacks have been on sites with paid themes). If you want to take it out one someone, yourself rather than anyone trying to give you some suggestions (I could have made fun instead - may as well have given your response).

Why would you send him a free site with details to the rest in the first place? ...

Nothing stupid here, he suggested exactly what you need. Its the best plugin that you can find to prevent injections, xss etc. Your answer is retarded and un-respectful. Don't ask for help if you think that you don't need it.

Yeah, I didn't really get the jackass comment. Even if the plugin sucks (I don't know, never used it) it couldn't hurt anything.

That's funny. If you saw me in person you'd look down at the ground. It's the
nerds with the smart mouths that kill me on these forums. Tough talking from
somebodys basement in their underwear..

The comment wasn't about the plugin I actually thought it was a good
suggestion. It's the little condescending remark about it being a "rookie
mistake" that's why I called him a jackass. It's unnecessary. Most times I
overlook it because it's petty but sometimes I respond.

I learned a lot from this situation and I'm sure people who read this thread will too.
Don't ever think you're immune to making mistakes because it happens. I learn the
most from mistakes actually. I still gave away 4 ranking, functioning sites without a
catch or motive which was a big contribution to the members who received them.
Thanks again to everybody who had something relevant to say.

Wow, you're a loser. If I saw you in person I'd laugh at you for being so stupid and sending your mysql files. I'm 6'3" 235lbs with 8%bf, I think I'd be okay
Dont Feel too bad about it OP I made the mistake of telling a Fiver guy off because he did not understand English, so he went in and deleted my biggest site.
My bad since I never changed the Log ins that I gave him.
Well site Lost but Lesson learned

If ONE theme has an old version of tim thumb it gives access to the database with a hack.You don't need sql to get in,there was a patch but if you haven't patched it it is a big exploit.
Wtf are people even bashing others? Enough with the internet tough guy b.s., it happens. Maybe not to you superfantastic webmasters(of the universe), but it happens.
Anyway, that does suck. I try to back up my stuff once per week, and I am constantly changing passwords, etc. Get my sites checked for exploits, whatever I can do.
I've actually got a goofy Russian kid who helps me out with that now. And when I say "goofy", I mean he's smarter than I.

I'll look into that. I came to conclusion of the sql exploit because of some
help from namecheap tech support. If it's because I haven't patched a few
themes the timing is impeccable with this whole sql thing.
