Anybody else?
Probably hacked. It's enough someone has some old wp blog with some shitty plugin on their server and EVERYTHING on that server is vulnerable. They'll upload a php shell, and can access configuration files for other scripts/domains and get data from those databases. Bigger issue is people storing unhashed passwords.
