@Joseph I don't agree with your attitude to a high degree. To be honest if your were to ask me to develop my site, I would run away so fast in the opposite direction. Hackers spend a lot of time finding exploits... why can't you as a developer spend as much or more time hardening your website or finding new ways to beat these guys, or recovering as fast as possible from an attack? You don't just sit and say since PayPal or VISA were hacked, there is nothing that can be done.
Here is an example of doing something right other than throwing hands up in the air

My advice to Janiffer, keep worrying and let that worry be positive in that in makes you become better techie.

Janiffer,What you need to understand is that all websites are vulnerable to hacking. These hackers spend lots of time finding exploits on their targets.
There's also DDOS which is quite hard to mitigate and major sites like visa and paypal have suffered occasionally from these type of attach.
As a student worry not should you, because worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.

Joseph.
