hi ya...
just re-installing and rebuilding the new box wont help because...
the hacker got in before... they probably can still get in again
unless something is done differently..
- simple things can prevent it from happening again would
- be to implement all the common things people been saying in
- the lists, faqs, replies, etc
probably the most important thing is backup your user data...religously...
that you can do and control with relative ease....
i guess the trick question....is did that guy get in...or was it just
a failed attempt....
- again some people say check your binaries against the cdrom
installs
have fun
