Thanks for all the help. I did all the things mentioned and got hacked again! I noticed 3.7.4 came out so I upgraded to that. The only other thing I can think of was vb ad management? So I disabled that one too.

I checked the chmod of my files and directories.... they all look good. My impex files were still there from the original setup so I deleted those. password protected the admincp and modcp directories, etc.

Still not sure what else to do to keep them at bay.

Have you contacted your host to make sure it isn't a server side vulnerability that's being exploited?

Yes. Of course they say that their hosting is absolutely perfect and the problem MUST be with vbulletin.

Follow all the steps mentioned in this guide. Do put .htaccess with "deny from all" in includes and install folder.

If problem still persists, then 100% the hack attempt is from server side.

Thanks- I had never been told to protect the includes folder before.
