In all honesty, it was probably a good thing that the board was hacked. The person that hacked it did not mess up the database, or atleast I do not think that they did.
The version that they were running, which was REALLY old, was just begging to get hacked. I have a feeling that security patches were not ever done to it either. Plus, this gives them a good reason to finally upgrade.
Better this guy than someone that would really mess things up.
