Recovering from this was no big deal, since the database was intact, but it was still frustrating after the host was unable to prevent multiple occurrences.

While you are locking down WP, don't forget about backing up. You'll need your database backup (probably from phpmyadmin), your template and program files (don't forget that some of these are editable online so your saved local copies may not be current), and any other files, e.g., images, that have been uploaded.
