As soon as any exploit becomes known, Jelsoft fixes the problem and releases an update as quickly as they can. Therefore the best and only way to make sure you have the best protection is to be running the latest version. At this time that would be 2.2.1.

P.S. People can still hack servers and accounts so there are others ways they can destory your forums that have nothing to do with any problems with vBulletin.

Not really.
Easiest way is if they find out the host your are hosted with, then find out they run Cpanel/WebHostManager, then all they gotta do is know the path to config.php and then SSH/telnet into their account and use Pico to view that file.
Whammo - they have your database info.
