You are not alone: http://www.zone-h.org/en/defacements/filter/filter_defacer=Russel-Aid/
Details at: http://www.zone-h.org/en/defacements/filter/filter_ip=64.5.53.192/


Unfortunately there is no information about the kind of attack...


The second link alerted me to another file that contained the attack: http://www.sqlite.org/index2.html

This supports my theory that the attack came in through CVS.
The main index page "index.html" is owned by root.  The attacker
could not overwrite it, so they created a alternative page at
index2.html.  So the boast that the machine was rooted, appears
to be just that - a boast.  In fact, the attacker was only able
to become the CVS user.

Who can help me move CVS into a chroot jail?
