Thanks to the good support of vBulletin it is now fixed.
Tomorrow I'll upgrade the forum to 3.6.7 which should be more secure.

Thankfully it was for just about2h30min....
I was going crazy...Why the Fu**** did they hacked a forum?

GO HACK MICROSOFT OR GOOGLE AND LEAVE US ALONE!!!!

If their so good at hacking i.e. "look what I can do", why not turn their talent to do some good like developing a few B4PPC app's and then they can share them with us if they want to show off.

Is there a possibility that any of the code samples or app's could have been infected with a virus etc. It's just that recently my ISP was attacked, along with stealing a load of email addresses, a Trojan was also planted in a jpeg file.

The vBulletin experts thought that the forum itself wasn't been harmed.
I don't think that it is possible to add a virus to the source code files.
However it is recommended to check for viruses with all other files.

Something similar happened to my main website about 3 years ago. Some friends of mine managed to track the group down and in return, DOS'ed their site which was down for weeks hehehe. After that, I have never had any problems.

Btw, it was a Russian group that "painted" my site back then.

Interestingly enough, my ISP thinks it was a Russian group that hacked their webmail, because some of the code was written in Russian.

PS Sounds like you've got some useful friends
