Possible remote break-in of a Mac OSX Server... PING!
I suspect this had local help... but it is NOT FUD.
Mac Warning Ping!

I changed the root password to the serial number on a $2 bill I received as a high school graduation gift... Bet the writer has this $2 bill taped to the server faceplate.

The fellow should wipe the box and re-install from media. There is no other way to be sure you’ve got rid of the attacker.

I think it was. Mac OSX is inherently secure by design because everything needs user permission before it can run. That's also standard on Linux and only came on Windows with Vista. Its terrible practice to run an unsecured system. If you know the site or source is trusted, you can give that permission to run. Everything else should be untrusted by default.
