That's likely. Last week I spoke with a RaQ owner who said that his servers
and many (or maybe all) others at the same web farm were hacked and rooted.
The fact that most hacks involved exploiting a server that wasn't explicitly
targeted means that no one is safe, no matter how unimportant or obscure the
server is believed to be.
