As far as I can remember, Nik jumped in the Chatterbox some time ago with a story that someone "hacked" into the server he had his website on due to poorly written scripts and asked for help. Asking is -IMHO- not a bad idea, but as usual, some people have problems with this way of asking.
Nik, maybe you could post the script that you feel worried about, so we could check it and make recommendations? Even parts of the script would help, I think (of course, take out passwords and other "private" information).
That would take out the fun for some people, but I believe it's even better, cause then "we" could even spot problems that some evil h4x0r might hit by lucky guessing.
