It's probably a plugin that had a security problem. Make sure to change your password and advise everyone else on the staff team, particularly those with ACP access to change their password.

What I generally do is add a pin to my ACP, cover it with a .htpasswd, and chmod the config.php files containing the pin & SQL details so if they get a shell up they can't read it.

Just make sure to search plugins for exploits before installing them.
