Security Worry !! I found a phishing site on my /catalog/images

Someone [you choose the bad name, I've thought of plenty!!] hacked my shop and ran a phishing site on my /catalog/images directory and my ISP disconnected my server !! :(

 

OK my server was a old and highly patched RAQ4 but I thought it was secure. This means I REALLY NEED assurance that setting /catalog/images and the others to permission 777 is really a good thing.

 

On investigation, I also found a phishing scam pointing to a different OSC shop - also on the /catalog/images! This 2nd shop is not mine - different owner, different developer, different web server and even different country.

 

This means that I found 2 instances of phishing sites in in the same 777 permission directory on 2 different OSC installations!!

 

I noticed in MS2.2 that there's no .htaccess or index.html in the /catalog/images directory, should ther be?

 

How do I make OSC secure? I run 2 shops and am about to build 2 more so I kinda need to know this.

 

Cheers
