In order to avoid attacks or avoid some users look into /root or /home/* you
can do chmod -R 755 *
Then you can search for a best solution, but, i recommend you to do as quicly
as you can chmod 755.
Do you have a backup created with the option -p (keep permission)? If you got
it you can restore your system from it.
Cheers
