Being a professional developer means admitting that your code sucks. It is the only way to develop better code.
Your web site hacked does not mean that your Linux is bad, but it indeed does expose a problem in the quality of the code. Who is going to check that your source code is not compromised now? They have the passwords of the forum, who know that the developer uses the same login name and password to the release builds servers?
