I think that actually used to be in the docs.
In all seriousness, it DOES get hacked a lot, and not just because noobs
set it up, but shared hosting installers often get something wrong or
there's a vulnerability discovered that effects EVERYONE'S installs.
However, the OP probably wasn't, unless he's suddenly posting about
horribly shady subjects he wouldn't normally post about.
