rename modules for security reasons?

[DRMasterChief]

Hello, perhaps a simple question, but important for me:

is it an idea to rename a purchased module (including all files and necessary changes in them) so that it is perhaps not visible from the outside with the known name?

I don't know exactly how SQL injections work, for example, but perhaps files are searched for known names (modules) and this could perhaps prevent it a little?

A module always presents a certain risk until something about it appears at https://security.friendsofpresta.org/. But many developers still need many weeks or months to come up with a fix.

 

In that case, would I have to change all the names in every file that is contained in the module? For example, if the developer calls the module 'moduleone', would I have to rename every expression 'moduleone' to 'newname'?

The bots crawl and look for exploits, they don't care if your module is called XYZ or ZYX. If your module has the same code in it the name does not matter. In some cases the module names is even not visible.
