This is more a server security issue rather than a Drupal one. I've seen

at some point.
There are lost of things that can be done to prevent this like
chmod/own-ing your file system correctly(As Gerhard touched on). This is
also a good reason to use SFTP rather then FTP as passwords in SFTP are
sent encrypted and FTP are not leaving them open to a *man-in-the-middle
attack.*
People still using FTP in 2010 should be shot on sight.

*ahem*
Public mirrors do use them ?
FTP is good if you can configure it properly. It can be a big bug in the
security as happened in this case if not configured properly :)
