How secure is Grex?

Grex's Labor Day Massacre which caused a week's downtime and apparently 
a big mess, ought to be a wake up call.  Is Grex's security outdated?  
Is Grex more vulnerable to attack now therefore than its ever been 
before?  Is the only way for grex to secure itself from attacks to do 
drastic things like closing newuser, eliminating email and .etc?  One 
hates to think that some wiseass juvenile hacker with too much time on 
his hands can attack grex and take it down that easily.  Perhaps the 
staff ought to recommend new security measures?
