Unhappy OLS server problems

Dear commisioners and owners playing in a league which is being hosted on our Online League Server OLS,
As you might have seen already, we're experiencing massive problems with our server. Looks like it has been hacked by some kind of robot which scans the web for servers having a security issue. Unfortunately, I cannot find the loop hole through which the server gets attacked
If we cannot fix this, we will have to close the OLS. The problem is that all the various message boards and guest book scripts and whatever there is on the server have to be checked and updated, and we're not having the time to do that now and during the next months - it's an ongoing process, since there are always new security issues which need to be fixed.
We've recently moved our main server to another provider, where we have several cool security features which makes our live much easier, but we cannot move the OLS easily to another server. It would also be too expensive.
Don't worry, we will not close the OLS short-dated. I want to discuss this matter with you here, probably somebody has an idea that might help.
