  # If you experience problems on your site block out the operations listed below
  # This attempts to block the most common type of exploit `attempts` to Joomla!
  #
  # Block out any script trying to base64_encode data within the URL.
  RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} base64_encode[^(]*\([^)]*\) [OR]
  # Block out any script that includes a &lt;script&gt; tag in URL.

  ## Begin - Custom redirects
  #
  # If you need to redirect some pages, or set a canonical non-www to
  # www redirect (or vice versa), place that code here. Ensure those
  # redirects use the correct RewriteRule syntax and the [R=301,L] flags.
