Lets say I was hacked, my forum that is.. what would I have to change to keep them out? Would changing admins password do much? So far I've noticed because they are changing user titles of users and finally they changed my user title. I upgraded to 4.0.4 and changed my password. What should I do?

And also be a little choosier who you allow in your admin and mod cp areas. Disgruntled es-staff can cause a world of hurt if they choose to.vBulletin - Sometimes, I'm just like, Wow, and then I'm like, Whoa, and then I'm like, Damn.
