With security that lax at PHPFog, it was inevitable that someone would have broken in. In that sense PHPFog was lucky... had these security problems not come up now, and be exploited by little punks with no larger agenda than vandalism, there could have been much more more serious damage later. What if some cyber criminal gang had turned their attention to PHPFog, and been a bit more subtle about the breakin?
I was appalled at the frequent mentions of 'luck' in that blog post. Your job as a sysadmin is to eliminate luck. To eliminate chance. To make _sure_ everything stays running, everything stays secure, everything stays confidential.
