    Hire a capable system admin ? If the scripts were installed by cpanel's script installer, use the addon module available to update all phpnuke installs, thats a first step. Do some research. Find out what known vulnerabilities there are in what versions of phpnuke that could cause such a thing to happen. Lock down your system, scan your logs, scan all the phpnuke installs for version numbers and ensure they're up to date, contact your clients and inform them to update or face suspension. If you don't suspend them for not updating, i'm sure ev1 will just pull the plug on your server so you might as well get a move on!

    The newer versions of Nuke include a Webmail module that any registered nuke user can use to send spam. I had a couple of servers get hit by spammers this way.
