Hi,
myself an others have/hade a security problem.
I am no specialist so I can´t say what happened and how.
I event can´t say what part of the forum is effected.
In my case and on a second server it helps to reload all blog files an import the Add-on again.
But the problem is also present on Forums without blog.
So i guess the “hacker” prefer the blog but might user other things.
While it happened if you call vBulletin scripts but also Add-on´s it look like that the problem use a Plugging that called global.
What we find out so far is how you could find out if your Forum is effected.
If you see the Alexa results for file2store.info you find a couple of vBulletin forums as Upstream Sites.
So we are not the only one.
If you see a drop in Adsens and in G Analytics but no drop in you Log Files or vB counters you might be affected.
Best regards
Christian

- See if you find a cookie with the name: vbsp (delete if present)
- Go to Google an search for: site:yourDomain.tld
- follow on of the links to your side
- if you will be redirected to file2store.info your forum has a problem.
- use IE for that. In Firefox I can´t go back in IE I could
