I assume that when you write hacked you actually mean cracked. The act of
breaking into a computer is cracking not hacking, although the press
refuse to understand that.

You already got good advice but there is more:

Make sure you actually got cracked, and didn't just run a trojan of some
sort. To avoid trojans: Don't run any {script,Makefile,programs,anything
else executable} from an untrusted source without lookin over it first,
and certainly don't run it as root.
