My website was hacked!

This evening I found out that my WordPress website was hacked on 17-09-2009 10:00 localtime (Two days ago). :( Not visible spam was added to the footer of this website and all downloads access rights were changed. Does anyone know how this is possible with WordPress 2.8.4? I upgraded three weeks ago my website to WordPress 2.8.4 so I personally think this hack is done with a WordPress 2.8.4 exploit!

The good news is that now everything is working normal again because i did the following things:
- Removed the spam from the footer.php template!
- Corrected the download access rights!
- Protected my score webservice against SQL insertion
- Set the unix file rights to readonly
- Changed all passwords
