    The best you can do is generate random passwords (ie: E1962A0C) and update as soon as an update is released, anything else is wasted time and effort IMO.

    I think hacking happens because wordpress has so many tool and one of the big things, wordpress blogs get cashed in Google very very good. So I think this is the reason word press blogs get hacked.
