    Do you host the server? Or is it hosted off site?

    Curious to know how you found out that your website was hacked.

    Did you get notified by the defacement project or some such organization? They usually detect hacks/security breaches before the site owners do.

    ... just speculating... If he did run it through a provider, then somebody dropped the ball big time. If he was running the server at his own risk, without a good firewall, then a hacker could have slipped in through a whole host of tricks, for example, the messenger service, assuming that service was not shut down, the hacker could just waltz into his hard disk. Then from there, use all sorts of utilities to melt through the Administrator password and ... well... as the word goes.. "Own3d"

    At my last position at Intel, I got an insight into what seperated their internal Enterprise Network from the DMZ or outside world. Some cool Cisco hardware firewalls were connected to the DMZ. These firewalls allowed employees that needed to get in(VPN) ...to get in and people that didn't out. SHOULD somebody break through the firewalls, they were met with a computer array called Defender. Defender was designed to offer a challenge phrase to the unknown entity that got in. If the challenge phrase was wrong, Defender was designed to sacrafice itself, cut off all connectivity rather than let anyone in. By then, all sorts of bells and alarms went on and IT was already on it. The software was written inhouse, it wasn't something you could go and buy. And it was continually tested for weaknesses. Cool stressful stuff! I don't miss it though.

    Interesting strategy at Intel, RacerX, but I can think of two ways to circumvent it already. :(

    I can feel your pain. I was just hit with a mass-mailer virus that shut down our system for a day.
