vBulletin won't (or shouldn't) suffer from such attacks, however the same cannot be guaranteed for modifications. (Although modifications with such flaws are normally pulled from vBulletin.org as soon as they are reported).

I'd check any other scripts you have on your site that are not vBulletin.

Just googling "Prevent SQL Injections" will give you tutorials on how to protect any other scripts which may be vulnerable.

Please read the following thread on how to improve security for your board:

vBulletin will not be affected. Any other scripts might be, that is all I can say really. Most scripts these days are pretty secure with regards to SQL Injections, it just depends on the quality of the work of the author of those scripts.

You'd be better off hiring a security expert if you have no knowledge and want to be completely safe

ok just a question is there anyway they can get my login information?

also wanted to know if theres a mod out there that i can use for example:

ok act like this is my real username / login name to my website ( SlingShot )

what i would like todo is keep my real login name ( SlingShot ) as it is, but to other members they would see a ( Fake ) username like ( Slowmo ) or w.e and it would look like its my real username to them and every other person on the board.. is this possible to make or has there been one? or something like this?

If you're that paranoid about being hacked - just don't install any modifications.

im not paranoid at all :D just asking, the reason they want todo a SQL injection on my site is because i reported theres which came out piracy so it made less competition for me since they hosted online games aswell :rolleyes: so i was just wondering if vbulletin is save as it is and is there anyway they can do anything to my site [ not the modifications ]..

If the scripts aren't secure and you don't know about it, you can't really do anything.
