always keep wp updated.. but that isn't enough sometimes.

disable the registration page by deleting the php file. most hacks involve exploits in the username field upon registration, giving them administrator rights.

disable uploads and check the upload folder every now and then for shell scripts.

you could also use another blogging platform

seems that a hacker modified the public_html/wp-content/themes/themes_name/functions.php and changed public_html/wp-content/themes/themes_name/index.php file. And changed WP admin name, email and password in mysql database.

Anyway WP was updated to 3.0.1.)
