Which is the highlight of vBulletin anyways...... ultimately making it one of the lease secured out of the bunch.
Think about all the spam bots running around --- Only vBulletin (as far as I know) and stock out of the box

Most of them have such a small percentage of installations it's not worth the "hackers'" time to mess with. vBulletin is targeted because it's very popular.
But I am well aware some free open source CMS such as wordpress, Joomla, Mambo, get "hacked" all the time.
Again, native vBulletin isn't the problem, it is very secure. It's when owners/admins corrupt it with add-ons, alternative skins and plugins is where the security holes start.
