CL Protection

I just visited IS300.net and there website has been hacked, doesn't look major but I thought I would let CL know and see if we can protect ourselves from hackers.

Thanks

you also have to remember that I am the only one with access to the server. And all the sensitive passwords are at least 10 digits in length. PLus, I have a state full fire wall/ packet filter installed. Plus, even if they were able to get one of the passwords used to access the database, there would still be the problem of the database only allowing connections from localhost. Meaning they would have to log directly into the server under a wheel account, then su into the root account. Of course I only allow ssh connections( which are 128 bit encrypted ) and the passwords for the wheel and root account are both over 10 digits in length. Then add in the fact that all my passwords are cryptic.

What I am trying to say is that I would be very impressed if some hacked this site.
