You could try to recover a little of the damage by looking for sites that may have splogged your feed, RSS readers that have a cache of posts in your feed, or even just the Google cache? The sooner you start looking the better as well. Really sorry to hear that.

Surely this is a huge security liability I'm just upgrading this site to 2.9.1 and will test it again Lee Hi

2.8.4 allowed me to upload a PHP file, which could then be run.

Surely this is a huge security liability

After poking around Google, I found the answer on the Apache site: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#options I think I prefer to leave out the 'All' and just specify the '-Indexes' option, but it looks like 'All' is the default, so it probably doesn't matter either way.
