docs.joomla.org/Category:Security_Checklist
Well, i remember a tutorial somewhere, But cannot find it. It has a lot to do with .htaccess file. If you have a static IP you can disable other IP's frm entering the admin panel. Also, you can stop certain scripts/codes.
If/when i find them, Will PM you with it
for now you can refer the above as well as RT forums. There is a tutorial. Just search

About 7 of my Joomla sites were hacked by "SecurityBus" about a week ago. The current sites were up to date but there was an old 1.0 site in a sub-folder that I'd forgotten about that gave access to my account and once in all the other sites could be attacked.
I thought I'd fixed everything - but 2 days later a phishing site was discovered by Google and my webhost on my account - and my entire account was suspended. So beware! Apart from the distracting hassle of all the index.php pages being altered and passwords being changed, something really nasty may be hidden in an obscure folder somewhere on your account.
After being hacked on a lesser scale 18 months ago, I always set up the third account on the site as a fallback super-admin account as it is usually the first admin account that gets attacked, and this way you can still get into your site and just delete the first admin account.
