Hacked

Backstory:  I own 3 dedicated servers.  I run one website off of these 3 servers.  It's load balanced across all 3.  I also have a few websites on one of these servers and only on that server.  In the recent past this server in particular was the target of an attack and somehow the attacker got in and made a backdoor for himself.

Today:  The aforementioned hacker let himself into the same server and wreacked havoc.  I'm part of an IRC network and they were able to traverse a few of the servers on the network because of my compromised server.  All 3 of my servers are part of this IRC network.  The server that was hacked also went down tonight.  I'll most likely have the datacenter reimage it in the next few days.  I was able to take a few of the websites off of it before it died tonight.  I'm just plain pissed that it got hacked in the first place.  Don't these people have anything better to do with their time?  I work hard to pay for my servers.  The money doesn't come out of thin air.  These bastards have the balls to fuck with something that I pay for every month.

I hate people.  I find them fascinating, but some people are just so selfish that I can honestly say I hate them.
