Yes. chmod could be handy trick. There are also some precautions to take if you are using wordpress for blog. You can check out the google on how wordpress security is compromised. If you're using any old version of wordpress then you should upgrade to latest version. Also you should make another admin account and delete account with name "admin". This is to avoid admin account getting hacked. There are plenty of such tips and security tips for keeping wordpress secured. If you're using joomla or drupal then you can join respective forums of those software and ask question about software. There are plenty of texts scattered for this security topic. If you're using any forum software like simplemachines,mybb or punbb,phpbb then you should keep yourself updated by upgrading to security release regularly. Never miss any security releases for forum software. If get hacked by hacker, i don't think they'll keep anything for upgrade or to data anyway. You should always install anti-spam, captcha for registrations in order to avoid hacker/spammer registrations. Also do follow official forum software's gudielines on how to work with security releases.

And, of course, just in case, have a backup of your database, and a backup of your website files, in order to be able to recover fast and easily.
