I am wondering if anyone else's forum has been attacked recently. And how, if so please state the version and the type of attack / what they did... as my site on 4.0.7 has been attacked a few times and I want to see if anyone else shares this problem.
My first attack was some form of iframe exploit that left a redirect to some page in the uk, the second one a week or so ago, left my forum.php file blank with the words "Xuplena" and nothing else...I am running 4.0.7 with security patch.
I have since, upgraded my server to help protect against SQL injections and have disabled shell scripts from running.

Well, you don't have VSa - Advaned Forum Rules installed, so you're not one of the "Team Animus" victims.
How did they hack you? Did they just edit your index.php or .htaccess file or they edited some style? It's very important since they would need FTP or PHP shell access for editing of php and .htaccess files, and if they just had your admin password they could have uploaded a php shell via plugin system. But I doubt it, so do the following:
- Download the latest database
- Download untouched files of your vBulletin version
- Replace old ones with the new ones.
Delete every file that wasn't overwritten.
