If your company successfully warded off a hacking attempt, give yourself a well merited pat on the back. Many corporations aren't so lucky. Each day, scores of corporations are damaged by successful breeches of their security systems by hackers, who appear to work unceasingly to mean damage to business systems around the planet.
If your system was tested by a hacker and held up to that test ( and rather more critically, if it did not ), it should prompt an immediate review of everything you have got in effect. The attack was stopped this time, yes, but a careful review of your system might uncloak the express weakness that the hacker was trying to exploit to gain access.
The worse of the 2 eventualities was that you were given hacked, but your defenses didn't hold up, and in this case, a review is more vital than before. In either case though, what you don't want to do is to switch 1 or 2 passwords and call it done. That's tantamount to sending the hacker an engraved invite to return.
In all cases, the hacker was likely drawn to a particular area of your network security for a reason, and changing a password isn't going to mend the fundamental reason. It isn't going to do anything to address the core problem. The main point of weakness the hacker perceived in your system that led on to the attempt in the first place.
That is the reason why the continual security audits are so vital. That's why it is so critical that you spend a little bit of time to see what happened ( and right ) with your security system as a whole, and learn what thing ( or things ) you can change to make your system's security more robust. More able to stand up against the next attempt, because statistical data are not on your side, and once a hacker has your smell, it's extremely likely that he will come back.
