Joomla Security Tips - 001

Like the homey Bob Marley said "Collective security for surety". The "how secure is Joomla?" question is about as common as ASL was in those dumbass AOL chat channels. Put it this way, it was, and still is, developed by a group of humans, and since humans are animals, most likely there are probably still a few lines of animalistic code in there. That's just about how it is for every piece of software developed by humans. So until we get to the point of outsourcing aliens, what should you do about Joomla security?

We know how much you hate reading so lets cut it short for now. In a later piece we will provide more general tips with regards to extensions/add-ons.
