How to keep your CGI-BIN secure

Many of you will use scripts and not know exactly how to keep them secure. If you use any formmail scripts in your CGI-BIN we will remove them before your account gets compromised. Always use email programs with PHP. If you are not using your CGI-BIN and you never plan to do so, you can set the permission to 000. You need to do this as soon as your account is up and operational. Setting the permission to 000 can be done by clicking your file manager icon in cPanel. Now you will need to click on the icon beside the public_html folder on your left. Locate the CGI-BIN folder and click the folder name not the icon beside it. After you click the CGI-BIN folder you will see at the top right a permission link. Click the permission link and set the permission to 000. You can enter it in without UN checking the box. Doing this will give you one more security tactic to keep your data safe.
