Notice that their "hack" contains a BCC to "mhkoch321@aol.com". Perhaps this is an email account set up by the "hacker".
sorry, i'm a bit in the dark here. how did they manage to fill in bcc ? you mean that someone can spam from your site by bcc'ing messages to other mail accounts ?
whoops ! got a bit carried away there. sorry. but wouldn't a simple check in the length of the job title field , or a regex or something be able to prevent this asswell ? come to think of it, simply replacing all @'s with <at> will also solve the problem ..
