Someone hacked into my database !

Someone hacked into my database !
Hi everybody,

I´m using links quite a while, and I´m familiar with it.
So I was absolutely astonished, when a new Link appeared as I was building the pages using templates, that was popular because of 1000 visits, but already new !
I recently reviewed the link and it was a hardcore porno site, that I never reviewed or accepted from the validation menu !
My cgi-bin is certainly password protected by .htaccess, and should not grant any user besides me access.

My database is chmod 0644 so that I´m should the only person who is allowed to write into it.

Has anybody ideas or suggestions ?
