FWIW there is a current news item on MSNBC that talks about what sounds like the same hack. See http://msnbc.com/news/602036.asp?0dm=T16MT .

You didn't mention if you're running Windows 2000 with IIS 5, but if so a good starting place for a security check-up is a paper on Microsoft's TechNet at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/iis/tips/iis5chk.asp . Also, just in case you didn't know about it, you can subscribe to Microsoft's security bulletin e-mail alerts, which is about the fastest way to find out about new threats and patches that address them. IMO it's a good idea to apply all security updates ASAP.

Sorry to hear you were victimized by this.
