Its in the first Post. Guy goes to internet Cafe and logs into admin cp, Then goes home.

Someone probably logged into his account on the same PC, Perhaps he didn't log off :eek:

I think the admins are more vulnerable than the software

im already logout in my admincpanel
i think its because keylogger.

Can I make a suggestion friend if you can afford to pay $300+ a month on a host save up for a few months a buy your own server. php apache and mysql are all free and easy to set up or checp to have installed or you can use lamp or wamp depending on the os you use. Lamp for linux wamp for windows. Then use sql dumper which is awesome and better then phpmyadmin at back ups since it has some things set incase of time outs for php scripts. i use it on my home server and it handles my sites back ups which are about 13MB's or more. I hope this helps you and sets you free from hosted drama.

As Marco says, NEVER go into your important files from a Public Computer, its just so Dangerous.

I hope you can salvage something of this :up:

yeah and now my support host didnt respect about this.
they never reply my email again (liquidweb)

In the end it is always your responsibility (read: your loss if things go wrong) to ensure there is a good backup. This will mean:

- Regular checks if your host make the backups he has promissed.
- Regular copy of the backup to a different medium (FTP to your PC, other server (at other hosting), etc..)
- Regular test if the backups are complete and can be used to restore your site.
- Be familiar with the backup schedule and make sure that it fits your needs (how long are you prepaired to rollback in case of an issue)

In worst case scenario if you cant get the backup be sure you well get back well again with your members, domain, idea ...
My advice is to decrease hosting costs for now
I am sorry I have no idea how you can get the whole forum back
Never ming Keep up the good work
Try to find any back up on your hard drive

Normal vbulletin forums are fine but you must be aware of keeping things up to date. Out of date vbulletin is vulnerable. Check what you install and keep things up to date.
