I think there has been some miscommunication here.
Nothing was hacked.
LAN side security measures are what everybody is suggesting, the "intruder" was not a LAN side client. Suggesting MAC filtering as a serious security layer is 100% flawed.
What did happen is a open door and welcome mat was left out for anybody to take advantage of and some body somewhere did. He is not an intruder or a hacker, he is at worst a guy running port scans on teh interwebs.
If you open ports they are open to anybody, if you use secure protocols and devices this is less of an issue.
