Back in May I had one of my sites defaced. From everything I was able to find out, they were defacing sites that ran a certain gallery add-on to Joomla. I found a lot of sites that had also been defaced by the same group when I searched for the "name" they left behind.

Fortunately I have a reseller account so I was able to totally remove the entire site, the site's hosting and recreate the hosting for the site and rebuild the entire site over a weekend. Luckily the site was small. After the new version was up, written only in HTML & CSS, I kept constant watch as these guys and/or their friends were still trying to view their work or perhaps even try to do more. They eventually gave up.

I'm no longer using any CMS package for my sites other than WordPress which I keep updated.
