A lot of sitesift scripts were hacked a month ago. Is it a new attack?

I'm sorry to hear about the hack. I don't use siteshift but:
1. Are there files to be used during the install process that should be removed when the install is complete?
2. Did you change all the default passwords?
3. Did you CMOD only the necessary files?
4. Did you use really strong passwords on your admin, FTP and cpanel logins? Meaning no dictionary words, both letters, caps and numbers.
