[ubuntu-za] My Ubuntu 9.10 has been hacked. Need help

[Mike Purves]

What about wifi access.  Someine in the vacinity has connected to your work
and has found that linux box...perhaps even opened up a back door for
himself....

Check the users on that machine...perhaps you should acitivate the root user
with a strong password...Check your wifi settings, dont use WEP etc etc

The person is gaining access a limited number of ways...Need to check them
one by one.
