Unbelievable.
Like having port 6379 be open to anyone who happens to wander by? Your firewall was horribly configured and you got burned, take this as a learning opportunity to fix your mistakes.

Like the 'Securing Redis' section from that link?
Securing Redis
==============
By default Redis binds to all the interfaces and has no authentication at all. ...
1) Make sure the port Redis uses to listen for connections is firewalled...
2) Use a configuration file where the bind directive is set ... [to] as little network interfaces you are using...
3) Use the requirepass option ...
4) Use spiped or another SSL tunnelling software...
