it's not so much serv-u being hackable... as it is.. being used as a tool /by/ script kiddies and hackers. serv-u will run hidden.. which is what you want if you are squatting on a box.. it as a remote admin to it.. so once the box is hacked... normally through a buffer overflow of /some/ sort... a compiled exe or trojan will then download a serv-u server and config file.. then start it..... or so abouts....
