Phishing Attempt

I received a notice from my ISP regarding a phishing attempt traced to my IP address. This was my fault, as I left open an account with a trivial password.

The account home directory contained a simple shell script of just over a dozen lines I can't see what it's doing there.

Now three questions:

1. Is it bad form to reproduce the script or other relevant info here?

2. Would somebody be able to tell me what it does, and how harmful it is?

3. Would it mean that I have been cracked?

Thanks,

Mark
