Thanx
I think you should hire a server management company to do a one-time security hardening of your server. Tell them that there was unauthorized access, and they will hopefully patch all the holes to stop it from happening in the future.
you can hire webbycart for $35/month to handle any management services you require as they are pretty decent on service. also you can let the client/reseller know that if you find any more accounts do that, you will terminate per your TOS and then if they want to complain, then ask them if they can afford a $xxx.xx/month server bill plus lawsuit fees, lawyer fees cause your server is us based(if that is the case).
usualy hosting companies that rent vpses or dedicated servers also give managed services. Ask your company about such services.
