Patch your lamps , collab env, builtin boards and everything, make sure mySQL 
has a password on it since it doesn't out of the box,  also update all 
passwords to hard ones and change all updates in the future to not use ftp 
first. Close firewall ports you are not useing and then check your logs to see 
what vulnerabilities you still have if any.
