Is this possible?

Is this possible, can someone really get into mysql and drop all tables in the database?


"Someone got into mysql and dropped all the tables in the database. We had two backups of that database, and both are corrupt. All the forum data is gone, and we are probably not going to be able to rebuild it.

Worse, however, is that I cannot reinitialize it. I do not know why our webhost has not reinitialized it; I am trying to do it myself, but I do not have the install.php file needed to set up vbulletin.

If anyone out there is running vbulletin and has a copy of the install.php file, please email it to ***** . Until I get a copy of that file, ***Forum is totally ****ed".
