Many thanks for this and for help received through the comments, such as the need to deny access to the .htaccess file itself. I had never really considered that.
Are there other crucial files?

Hi,
for non Windows users: ‘wp-config.php’ is located in the public area, that’s mean can be accessed too by local users with telnet / rlogin service.
To prevent: you must login with telnet/rlogin client and do like this :
# chmod 600 wp-config.php

Another file we need to make sure to block access to is: xmlrpc.php

Here you can just add one more file directive for xmlrpc.php to your .htaccess file.
