And when you say its not hacking you are wrong it is hacking, very simple hacking but still it is hacking.
You should protect your whole server from showing directories, that way you don't have to worry about it. You don't have to do it for each directory.

You can set it up so that any directory on your machine that doesn't have an index file will show this (403):

"You don't have permission to access /directory/ on this server."

You can do that system wide & you can set up a custom error page too.
