    protect your stats pages!

    Unprotected stats pages are a hacker's tool to get locations of your scripts, userids for member logins, etc. Protecting this info with an htaccess file is an easy defence. If you don't know about htaccess/htpasswd files, chat with your host to get them to set it up for you. It takes just a few minutes to do this, and can save you hours of grief later on.

    Agreed!

    Whenever i add a new domain to any of our servers i always include a request to htaccess protect the domains stats pages

    Not only can they be used by hackers, but your competition to find out what keywords are pulling in traffic for you!!
