Personally, no idea. You generally find crackers will have an arsenal of exploits not released out in the wild, wouldn't surprise me if there were a whole heap of Cobalt specific ones; the UI needs continual revision and updates to remain secure, as I'm sure as hell there's bugs, and there hasn't been any updates for a long, long time.

Not unusual.  Cobalt's have a history of being notoriously insecure.
If you're not using third party packages, or rolling your own updates,
your machine will be hacked sooner or later; Sun release very few
package updates these days.  Which sshd package were you using?  What
third party packages were you using?

Could even be a known exploit with the GUI.
