Just adding to this, Also make sure to have a secure password because hackers that have a little more experience generally use bots to gather usernames in a huge list then putting the usernames into a bot that will then spam the server with each username and password combination. They usually have a list of around 50 commonly used passwords (These can be easily found on the internet), and several hundred usernames each time they run the bot. I'm warning you, This type of bot exists and do work, In fact they work very well.
