George A. Posted March 12, 2015 Report Posted March 12, 2015 Hello, Is it ok to remove the footer script version details (Installed Version 3.x.x) to discourage any "good intended" people out there? Or is it just visible in the admin area? Kind regards, George.

Typically if a vulnerability is found for a specific version of software, and this happened frequently with vBulletin, an attacker can google that string and come up with a pretty good list of targets.

Hello,
Is it ok to remove the footer script version details (Installed Version 3.x.x) to discourage any "good intended" people out there?
Or is it just visible in the admin area?
Kind regards,
