Safety in v7.5?

After Reading all the threads and news posts about 7.6 being rediculously buggy, my question is this: is 7.5 safe enough to park at? so far its a default nuke install, chatservs patches, and sentinel 2.1.0 . and between of the site running great with no hacking, DDOS', etc. and Sentinel sending emails reguarding blocked access it all seems to be pretty scure, but i thought id ask you guys first.

Upgrade to NukeSentinel 2.1.1 and make sure that you have Chat's latest 2.7 patches and you should be okay with either.

Hi.
I an newbie to PhP nuke and now I see it is more time consuming than building website from the scratch:)

I would like to ask one question.
I have 7.5 installed and then I installed Sentinel...
then I got info about patch and now I am confused because as I understand I should install patches first.

what can I do now?
Maybe I can only manually change something in few files or... throw everything away and start everything again...
My earlier version was hacked so I decided to do everything what is possible to make my web secure.
Those stupid hackers could take advantage of knowledge I will publish on that site (because it is about super memory improvement hehe).

So... can somebody help me with that please?

maybe I shoudl install patch and then reinstall sentinel again?
Please help me.

Just apply the patches and reapply the few code changes that NukeSentinel requires.

Thank you.
I just did it. I thought that I can just upload Sentinel and then reload files. It works and I hope it will make my site secure.

BTW about hackers- there are two sides of the same coin. First my service was hacked and I bacame angry- other side is that hackers did not destroy the whole content but only made a signature...and i caused me to make my site more secure...
After all good educational experience.

Thank you for suggestions Raven.
