I'm not going to address the intrusion... but...
One thing I like to do on web sites like this is use "git" to track
(and revert) changes.
Just "git init" and "git add *" and "git commit -m 'initial copy'" to
get started. Then when you think your files have been hacked,
you can "git diff" to see, and "git checkout *" to revert back to
the good copies.
If you want to, you can clone that repo to somewhere safe, for a
little added security.
Even if you're not fighting some defacing bot, git is a nice tool
to tracking what changed on a web site that has a lot of text
files running it.
