Website security

[Lumbergh]

Hey, I'm going to be running a website based on a video game. This is my first website I've ever had/run, and I was wondering if there are any security things I should look out for. I'm going to be using invision power board 2.1, and I've heard of people hacking passwords/etc. Anyway to stop any of this from happening? Is there a way to lock a lot of the files so they can't be taken from the server?

Anyway to stop any of this from happening?Server security with Basic Authentication rather than application managed security.
Is there a way to lock a lot of the files so they can't be taken from the server?Not if they're part of the user interface.
