title: How to prevent access to component/users/?view=registration in Joomla 2.5?
body: <p>How can access to component/users/?view=registration be restricted or disabled? Someone attempted to hack a client's website by going directly to domain.com/component/users/?view=registration and register as a user. The only reason this why caught was their e-mail address bounced back cause their mailbox was full. This specific Joomla 2.5 website doesn't have a login module displayed on the screen. Also, /administrator is already .htaccess password protected.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to shutdown somewhere within Joomla to disable users from registration so component/users/?view=registration don't work? Or should component/users/?view=registration itself be password protected with .htaccess? Thanks!</p>
