Which type of sites usually get hacked? 1 Month, 1 Week ago Karma: 2  
Just getting started with Joomla and read a lot about security and protecting your site etc.

My question for anyone out there is, what sites are the most common to get hacked or targeted by hackers the most?

Are there bots out there that search for the joomla sites or is it a specific person or person that go out trying to find them cause they have nothing better to do?

I say person to person and they are mostly bored or power hungry.
here are just few steps any joomla admin should do

1. chmod index.php to 655
2. protect administrator directory with username and pass with htaccsess
3. keep up with updates
4. visit Joomla.org daily
5. do not install any component or module , make sure it is safe first
