Have you asked your host about this? They may be able to look in the logs and see how this happened.

Were any tables left, or was the entire vbulletin database dropped? Error log in former case would have entries like 'table xxx does not exist in query ...' If database was dropped, Error log/email would say 'query.. database doesn't exist with user@host..'

Definitely contact your hosting to see if they can help on forensics. Do you allow anybody shell (server command line, not web interface) access or Query Access to the server your forum is on? How many vbulletin administrators other than you can get to admincp? Are you using .htaccess files for admincp?
