Can you post URL to such boards?

Are they all on the same server?

Would have more expected them to be on 1 server. If multiple boards, running different versions are being hacked, then you must look for the common factors.

It is unlikely that they are hacked thru core vB. More likely is direct database access or shell access on the server.

I make everything to make this server secuer and also I'm not using the SAME data on every forum

the last thing I want to explain that there isn't any changes happened to the files for this forum .

also the hacker didn't use the account on the board to make his hack as if he could hack the database or anythig else he could be deleta any thing from it

all what I do here to restore the forumhome template for the style as It was before ,

please tell me If there is something I can do to stop these hackers..

wait for reply

Well something is able to make changes to the templates table in the database. This is either done by direct access to the database (why delete info if you want to redirect to a spam site?), or by an installed modification that is vulnerable to SQL-injections.

Why don't you take a look at server log ?? ( log access raw )

you can see how they act exactly ...

Do you use shared server ?

And did you change the database password after being hacked ?

change the database password and re edit config.php and also can test this plugin : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1687304#post1687304
