Linked PDF, Section 3.2 has a time line ... the bottom line is, people got root access via credentials and password logins. Once they got credentials, they put trojans on and got everyone's username and passwords. If you look at page 66 of the PDF, it tells you how to not get infected ... don't allow root logins and don't use passwords. Don't keep user's sever root passwords in a database, etc.
