Some exploits are hard to track down, its could be as simple as a shell script disguised as an image, the one thing most of these exploits have in common is that they attack world writable files, not many files need to be world writable but some virtual hosting setups create lots of them due to the way the virtual accounts are managed

if you can ssh to your account, you can run

find /your/directory -perm +o=w -follow

and get a list of world writable files, Im betting the files that keep getting defaced are world writable

You can remove the world writable bit with this command

chmod o-w file.name
