You may Update Post Counts under Maintenance > Update Counters. Read the text below, especially the warning.
This will recalculate all of your user's post counts based on their CURRENT posts in the database. Do not run this if you have pruned posts, manually changed post counts, or imported from another forum package and you wish to maintain your users' current counts. Your members' post counts will PROBABLY decrease so only run this if you believe you really need to! Once they decrease you cannot bring them back up without restoring your database or manually editing each user. You have been warned!

Thanks for the warning, but I wanted to know how they hacked the top posters so I can block it from happening again

is it possible that someone got admin access and adjusted the post counts on there profiles?

Take a look at the Control Panel Logs and see if you can find anything there.
yeah go to find users by ip address enter your username in the second box and see what other ips have been going into your account, also do the same with other admin accounts
