since the site itself was hacked, it is possible that the private key that would have been used to sign the code could have been stolen as well. This would have defeated the digital signing system, as the cracker could have signed the code as the author.

Solution? I guess dont store private keys on a networked computer... but then how do you sign files you will post?
