password protect your stats
This is for those who have slimstat or another non password protected stats software installed with your servers.
Slimstat has a problem which I was ignoring for years now whilst hoping for the best: Its “Admin” tab allows deletion of older posts.
What made me search for a password though is the observation that hackers were checking what searches were performed and then adding their scripts on top of them. This resulted in a lot of “New Resources” been counted in the db.
The solution I found is a password script from www.zubrag.com/scripts/password-protect.php which works wonderfully in protecting the privacy of those pages.
I know I could achieve similar results with htpasswd but I just hate alert windows so the php way was the cleanest solution for me.
The script is very easy to implement but if anyone wishes to install it and has problems with it I’ll be happy to help.

Re: password protect your stats
Good info Yiannis. I actually use this code and he also has a plug-in to exclude yourself from the results which is useful.
