   It's not always the fault of the site that has the PHP script (even though PHP   
   Board   
   software is pretty leaky), one of my sites got taken down because another user   
   on the   
   cluster had an insecure script on their account.  This was also compounded my   
   my ex-   
   webhost having pretty shitty security.   
      
   From what I understand some actor got root access, so I would put that in the   
   hands of   
   their webhost EIG - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endurance_International_Group
