[Systems] Hacked content detected on http://www.sugarlabs.org/

I was just running ls -lsah on the root of www.slo, and it told me:

* The spam (head.php) was last modified on Jun 23 13:56.  I assume this is
the creation date too.
* head.php is owned by www-data.  I assume this means that it came from php
or apache?
* index.php was modified 1 minute after head.php.  It has a command to
"include("head.php");"
* every directory was modified within 2 minutes after the spam creation,
including .git
    * eg. css/comnon.php base64 or something encoded php.  Looks a
different style to head.php, no use of regex, but IDK.  It is a php
webshell named b374k-shell version 2.8.
    * eg. assets/fs-login.php encoded php that is decoded using a regex.
Prompts for a passoword, but no identifying stuff
    * There are also files called fedit.php Iicense.php (starting with cap.
i) lndex.php (lower case L)

Some files came before head.php, see http://www.fpaste.org/278658/47310741/

Also, reviewing Walter's repo, I can't find a clean copy of the website,
see https://github.com/walterbender/www-sugarlabs/issues/11  So hum,
cleaning this will be fun!

Thanks,
Sam
