Hey guys...

I just found out that my vBulletin (version 3.6.8) was hacked by some internet group. (link is in the sig if you need to see). I was not prepared for any hacking (I don't have any known hack-able components like vbPlaza) and now I have no idea what to do.

Does anyone have any advice?

You can always restore the site from backup. Yours, if you do them regularly, or maybe your host's. The only problem being that when a server gets hacked sometimes your host's backups will be hosed.

Don't wait long, as hosts don't keep backups forever.

Otherwise you may have to reinstall vbulletin and hope you at least have a database backup to restore your forums.
