Could be any of the following...
1) If co-hosted any of the other sites could have been compromised.
2) Writeable dir anywhere
3) SQL injected shell
4) Exploitable script/program
5) Missing patches
6) Easily cracked user/pass/service account
7) Misconfiguration in just about anything
8) About 100000 other things.
You must be more specific. Provide logs, patch level, version levels,
scripts used, check dir permissions, state type of hosting etc.......

Subject: Hacked by aLpTurkTegin, help patching this hole
> Our website was defaced by aLpTurkTegin. We are running apache, php ect.
> Does anyone know how this hacker is getting in and what I can do to
> prevent this?
>
> Our main web directory had all but one file deleted and hackedIndex.php,
> a.asp(a 0 byte file) and trustscn_put_test2 were placed into the main
> directory. The fact that the webserver served hackedindex.php makes me
> think its a apache web server flaw.
>
> Any comments, suggestions?
> Thanks, -D
