my site was hacked (v 2.2.5)

HI, Yesterday my site was "defaced" by a hacker. The front page was completely replaced with the hackers page. I'm using Amazon's EC2, and in my haste to get the site back up, I killed the bad server and relaunched a new one. This resulted in me losing the hacked server so I'm unable to investigate.

I have SSH enabled only for my IP address. Afaik this recent security update would prevent someone from doing SQL injection but because the entire site was defaced, I don't think this is a SQL related hack.

I will upgrade immediately, but just wondering if you had any thoughts on how it might have happened?

Thanks
