If there's one thing that news.typo3.org and FAQ can do is make it very 
evident that the site WASN'T hacked but that there was an intrusion.

Hacking would mean the software (TYPO3, it's settings, server or Apache) 
was the problem while "Intrusion" means that social engineering was 
probably involved. Weak password being mainly a human factor even if you 
can force heavier passwords.
