I have read 'best practices' somewhere that stated you should not have the CFIDE open to /anyone/ on a public site. I guess you can't just move it, because a lot of CF functionality relies on the stuff being there, but you can and should use your web server to hide it from the outside world. If you need your hosting customers to have access to the CF admin panels (which live under CFIDE), you can give them access to the functions they need using the admin api, and put your files in a public location.
