    If you have a database backup, use that to restore your board.

    If you don't, contact your host and see if he has a backup. If so, ask him to restore the database with that backup.

          What version are you running? If you are running an older insecure version then that could explain why you were hacked. Always run the latest version or be sure to apply security patches.

          You can't know the exact cause without examining your server logs.

                  If you are running 3.0.7 AND you downloaded this before March 18 2005, then there is only one patch:

                  It has come to our attention that an XSS issue exists within vBulletin 3 in versions up to and including 3.0.7. However, the circumstances that allow this XSS issue to be exploited are rare so the vast majority of installations will be unaffected.

                        I offered to help in post #7. However if you have hacks installed, then the first thing you need to do is reupload the original vB files.

                            Did you reupload the original vB files? Also since it appears your web account was hacked, I recommend you contact your web host and ask them to investigate this. You should also have them change your account password.
