Sorry, didn't mean to downplay the seriousness of this hack, the
badguys were server 10s or thousands of porn images for several days
before the site ran out of bandwidth and shut down. That was the only
way I discovered that they were there. I had not idea that my site was
being used to distribute the junk before the bandwidth limit killed
the site. Even now, I am getting thousands of requests per hour for the
junk stuff that has been gone for a week.
