Is your database gone? Do you have a backup? Exactly what was hacked? Can you be a bit more descriptive.

Change passwords to FTP, MySQL, Host Panel...
Restore the most recent copy of the database and make sure the contents of files is correct:
AdminCP -> Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Suspect File Versions

Contact the hosting and tell them about the situation.

vBulletin is safe. You should uninstall the unnecessary modifications and better protect your server.
