Does anyone know where I can begin to correct this problem? I've told everyone on staff they should change their passwords immediately, but other than that, I've got no idea where to begin??? I'm running VB 3.7.4

In addition, it looks as though some of these edits do appear in the moderator logs, but only a very few of them. I've banned all the IP addresses that made the changes from the few mod log entries that I can see. All of the IP's look like proxies.

Any suggestions?

Contact your host to check their logs and see how they were able to hack into the admin accounts. Check your server space for any suspicious file/s. Then upgrade your forum to the latest version of your branch.
