That is old/bad information and actually is an indicator that your host is complete fucking
shit. If you fear setting a file to 777 then you're already fucked.

If you are on a secure server with no holes in your scripts then there is no way
I can hack your site just because you set every file to 777.

I wish people would quit repeating this bullshit.

If your host says "you were hacked because you had files set to 777" then you are
crazy to keep hosting there.
