If it has been hacked the first thing you need to do is lock it down so 
it can't be hacked again. So clean up anything the hacker might have 
changed. Also change any password the hacker might have had access to: 
backend users, frontend users, databases, anything that's known in TYPO3 
or anything the user the webserver uses has access to even if it's 
incrypted.

The next thing you might want to do is update TYPO3 and all extensions 
so any known security bugs that have been fixed since 4.0.2 can't be 
exploited anymore. And update it each time a new version is released.

You should also inform your provider if you don't host it yourself, so 
they can check deeper into the server. If the server isn't locked down 
correctly a hacker might have installed things like an IRC bot in the 
/tmp directory for example.
