So-called Geeklog "exploit" posted

Okay, well, it's not a so-called Geeklog exploit. I was hit with it today.

Unfortunately, my host doesn't allow me to create directories outside of the htdocs directory. I didn't think to protect the directories surrounding geeklog.

Fortunately, my database was not touched but I have no doubt that my passwords have been compromised as, according to my web server logs, ever file on the website was accessed and searched for passwords.

My index.php file was replaced with one of those ubiquitous 'you've been hacked' pages.

A file was placed on the system that searches for passwords and when I downloaded it Symantec A/V got pissed and tagged it as a trojan.

Only a few files were edited / created and the person wasn't sophisticated enough to destroy the logs so I'm assuming it was a 'script kiddie" though his 'hacked by' page warned me not to under estimate his skillz.

Whatever.
