So I upgraded vBul to the latest version of 4 and now I have a hacked forum beyond recognition which I can no longer use. Sick to death of VBuletin getting hacked, I can run a community not prevent hacks.
http://bizforums.co.uk has anyone got the slightest idea of how to rectify this? over 24 hours have lapsed, the last backup was hacked and anything before that is gone due to it's size.

Have you deleted install folder from you directory??
and if u have access to admincp.....go to style template, forum home templates, and check the FORUM HOME template, copy the old code of FORUM HOME and revert the FORUM HOME template.....try if that helps....
Make sure you copy the code of FORUM HOME template before you revert it....

Web-Sniffer.net indicates that bizforums.co.uk is sending a 303 redirect status. Look in the server account's HTACCESS file. It could be something entered into Plesk. It doesn't look to me like VBulletin is actually hacked but the hosting account itself.
