If you don't want to advertise for hackers that your site is WorPpress powered, try to remove the meta generator tag from Wordpress.

There are times when you want to connect to the Internet through unknown and/or insecure networks such as a wifihotspot. If you aren’t careful, you might make it all too easy for someone to sniff your connection.

After my VPS provider had been hacked, and I got a new VPS from them, I also got a new problem.

Since my new VPS has not HyperVM control panel (why?), I stay without an easy managed backup solution. / HyperVM has a built-in backup feature. /

So I had to find a new solution for my backup process/needs.

Digest authentication is more secure than Basic authentication, because using digest authentication, your password is never sent across the network in the clear, but is always transmitted as an MD5 digest of the user's password. In this way, the password cannot be determined by sniffing network traffic.
