For those of you who "just want to get it working" here's something to think about:

If those sites had done simple things like scrub their user input or use PDO, lizamoon wouldn't be a news story.

Yup, totally avoidable loss brought about in part by lazy/second-rate developers. That's what $5/hr for a dev will get you

I have this directory where I just write random scripts that come to mind. They never are completed. It's like a scrapyard in there. So I was basically writing a script for uploading and managing files. I thought that nobody even visited my site so I never bothered to check the file size/file extension. A while ago, I was looking through my files to see what I should port over to my new server, and I found two new files! Apparently, some script kiddy got his hands on some hacks and uploaded it to my server. The script itself did nothing more than viewing a few secret docs I couldn't care less about (the best it had was a list of every username withing my host server). I immediately deleted the files.
