This was not a DB hack. This was script kiddies uploading a PHP file somehow to the the root directory. This has happened because no one is maintaining the site. I have uploaded the most recent patches to the site and applied the correct permissions to the folders\files after the updates.
Unless someone does take over looking after the site, this will happen again in the future. We have backups as a fallback, but I don't have the time.
Spanner I mean no disrespect when I stated what I did.
I am cautious by nature when it comes to any hack, and that is to go straight into protection mode.
I also don't blame you for this occurring, and thanks for any help you do provide because like you state someone isnt maintaining the site, and you don't have time.
Its just sign of the times we live in, where these things happen.
