Are you sure that was how it was hacked???

First, start with your php.ini file.  The most important
settings in there are:

session.use_cookies = 1
session.name = "Horde"

You may also need to tweak session.cookie_lifetime, 
session.cookie_path, session.cookie_domain, session.gc_maxlifetime,
and/or session.gc_probability.

Inside horde, make sure horde/config/registry.php agrees with
your php.ini for the variables:

cookie_domain
cookie_path

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
