- search in database for users which have empty usernames or admin access
- uninstall all mods/plugins/themes
- backup your database
- reinstall your server completely (ask your host for assistance)
- install fresh vbulletin
- restore backup
- reinstall mods/styles
- find weak spot and take action so it won't happen again.

- use strong passwords, like: uxPK2v5bpz
- choose reliable administrators only, demote all the others to moderators
- consider blocking notoriously known hacker IP's by firewall
- install only plugins you fully trust, in all other cases ask an expert
