You should be ok seeing as your using v.306.
One tip, make sure your ftp and mysql passwords are different.

have a backup of your entire site, not just your mysql database, also it helps to password protect your admin folder with .htaccess.
if they do hit... put it right back up

The only problem with that is that it doesn't actually fix whatever security hole you might have, it just puts the entire site right back up to its pre-hacked state to be hacked again (though that is a valid point, backups are ALWAYS a good idea). I think he was wanting to make sure he had the correct folder permissions to prevent being exploited in the first place. htaccess helps, but chmodding non-htaccess folders is also very important.
/my two cents :)
