I have to say I'm not a big fan of the whole packaged CMS idea. I'm of  
the opinion that its best to get a professional web developer to make  
you something. One of our servers at the company i work for has around  
100 sites on it. Since i have been here we have had two sites hacked.  
Both Joomla!. Both different exploits.

I'm aware security through obscurity isn't by any means a good  
solution, but it certainly makes you harder to find. Any web developer  
worth their weight in mud will write something thats secure enough to  
not be walked around on like Joomla!
