This is more a server security issue rather than a Drupal one. I've seen this happen with Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress and custom PHP code. It really most likely means that access to the server/host was compromised at some point.
There are lost of things that can be done to prevent this like chmod/own-ing your file system correctly(As Gerhard touched on). This is also a good reason to use SFTP rather then FTP as passwords in SFTP are sent encrypted and FTP are not leaving them open to a *man-in-the-middle attack.*
People still using FTP in 2010 should be shot on sight.

*ahem* Public mirrors do use them ? FTP is good if you can configure it properly. It can be a big bug in the security as happened in this case if not configured properly :) -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Adminstrator www.itech7.com
