[SECURITY] STEPS ON RESTORING A CRACKED SYSTEM

Today I stumbled over a nice article linked to from OSNews. It outlines the basic steps one has to do when confronted with a system compromise.
From the article:

• Don’t panic. Keep your calm and develop a plan of actions
  
• Disconnect the system from the network
  
• Discover the method used to compromise the system
  
• Stop all the attacker scripts and remove his files
  
• Restore not affected services
  
• Fix the problem that caused the compromise
  
• Restore the affected services
  
• Monitor the system
