Hi Kirill,

Security is one of those evermost changing topics so and does require some vigilant reading around. For example, I read through my server logs a couple of times a week to check that no one is trying to do injections and that they are not getting in.

SQL injection is quite preventable, most the time I will escape a text entry in JavaScript on input, when I process it in my controller and then again in the model using Pear DBs escape methods. As long as you keep an eye out on your logs for injections you're security won't hopefully be compromised.

One other thing I would suggest, If you are running a Linux based web sever, install something called Fail2Ban and keep your code separate from your views (ie models and controllers / actually working code in /bar/www/include & template in html)
