You did completely re-install the server, not just fix the hole -
presuming you know how they got access in the first place? Once you've
been compromised you can't trust that backdoors/rootkits etc haven't
been installed. Wipe the machine, re-install, start from scratch.

Did you store credit card numbers and/or passwords in plaintext in
your database? Better inform the relevant customers if so. Better
re-set their password also.

Was the machine a windows or unix box?
