It could be anyone, but from my experience, Once they get into your
computer they will put TON of backdoors using rootkit's and other stuff. I
dought that just removing his account will be the end of it. My advice is
to backup any NON-BINARY information like configuration file and do a
complete reinstall of you system. Also once you get back up and running
BLOCK all open ports you might have(I usually only leave 22 open for ssh).
Hope this helps.
