    Security of leaving default Umbraco cms location

    Hi,

    Is it regarded as a security risk to leave the Umbraco installation in the default location? domain/umbraco

    If it is left where it is, someone can navigate to that directory, but on a scale of 1 to 10 how secure it? Is it still very secure at this level?

    Also, if you move the directory, then you have to update all 3rd party components don't you to use this directory. Is this a straightforward process for all 3rd party components?

    Thanks a lot

    Personal opinion: security by obfuscation doesn't really help alot, if you have the need to have a very very secure login (though the standard one is plenty secure like almost any modern CMS), how about whitelisting IPs and giving access to domain/umbraco?
