My server was hacked

Last wednesday, I checked my blog and it had been hacked.  wp-header had been edited and borked.   Nothing in the database had been touched.  It was a scary experience, but I got the server back up quickly.  I backed up the database and restored it.  Apparently there were some encoding issues, thus the weird characters everywhere.  I updated to the latest version of wordpress and everything seems to be fine.

I think it was just a driveby attack, nothing aimed at me personally.  I have been working on blogging more and getting links to my blog from other sites.  Oh well.  Time to restore the db properly I guess.
