There is this moron that I banned from my forum a long time ago and now he keeps hacking into other members accounts and posting offensive things.

I have no idea how he is doing this. Can anyone help me stop this from happening?

My forum is vBulletin® Version 3.6.8.

1- change your host -- no matter what you will do, your host seems unsecured
2- change all your passwords -- no matter what, he have access somewhere
3- update vBulletin to the latest of its class... the newer the better for security

...track that person's IP.... sometimes it helps

Is there any known exploit that can cause this to happen?

Do you have any "Admin log in as user" modifications installed?

I'll bet he's not hacking into their accounts. He's creating usernames that look just like theirs.

No, he was hacking into accounts.

I upgraded to the latest version. All seems good now.
