Kindly take care of below mentioned points:

1. If your website has third party software installed or any scripts or templates etc in your domain then please make sure that you have upgraded the third party software.

2. Make a practice of regularly changing the passwords of the control panel from where you are managing the site as well as the FTP passwords.

3. If it is not necessary then do not assign the full permissions to any files or folders.

First of all - does your site use any popular script, or is it custom made?
