Security issue- Index.php file permission set to 00

You could probably do something like this in .htaccess:

Code:

DirectoryIndex front.php

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(system|application|cgi-bin) - [F,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* front.php/$0 [PT,L]

This would mean you would be routing through front.php instead of index.php. What is interesting is that I have had one of the FTP viruses on my network, and those viruses were looking for index files. Since you didn't have a virus, I know that's not your issue, but changing from index.php to front.php could make a difference if you did.
