Hackers can't do anything with bad file permissions unless they are actually on your server already.

File permissions stop other accounts on your server from writing to your files.
And if your server is partioned to private virtual account that shit don't even matter because nobody can even get a path to your account to even attempt to write.

FACT: If you have to chmod to keep others from writing to your files then your hosting is SHIT!!

But hey, you will not listen...so good luck.
Hackers can do plenty if you are publicly serving world writable directories and files through your webserver. No shell access needed.
