I second that, a site I do some things on has also been accessed by what
might have been the same bunch.  Now I keep a copy of everything off
site, and anything on site for current work is kept encrypted via des.
Any attempted changes in the stuff will be immediately obvious on
attempted decryption, as the result will be garbage.

There really is no other choice, when one hasn't got total control of
the site and backups, etc.
