I'm looking for an open source CMS or forum system. I don't need one that is particularly fancy but what I would like it one that is easy to update for security reasons. Is there one that is easy to do an in-place upgrade on - like WordPress can do?<br>
<br>
Easy to get running would be nice too, but security above all else.<br>
<br>
I'm looking for voices of experience here: I had a system running Drupal get owned one time, so fool me one, fool me twice, etc.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any suggestions.<br><br>

The trick to not getting hacked is to be careful what 3rd party modules you install and keep up to date on security. For example, if you only install 3rd party modules that are "released" (not in devel mode) that are listed on <a href="http://drupal.org">drupal.org</a> then you'll get e-mail announcements if there is a security issue found. Also, now Drupal has a built in report that lets you see if there are updates available for your modules. You do have to install them yourself though.</div>
