Yes, possible.
Yes again, shared hosting, it may well be their problem. As I said, seems the hackers waltz in and farm the users and their sites without apparent problem with their sites. They (webhostinghub.com) applied some measures that alert me when (some, what their poor security can detect) it happens. They quarantine the malicious code but still - it comes through their lack of security.
Issues like this have a potential to drive a hosting company out of business.
If any, the luck is my site is not commercial, no money loss. But hours lost to restore by me for someone who had ruined my site for fun.
When I asked webhostinghub.com why don't they introduce 2 level login (with RSA dongle) they said it could fix cPanel only but not "3rd Party software", possibly implying VBulletin to be at fault.
They confirmed nobody had compromised my passwords and logged in.
I still believe it is cPanel, an independent vendor, who is at fault.
No offers for help (paid) from this site would fix it. It is not VB, I think.
Always try to have frequent backups. But I'm guessing you have already got that under control. Has the hosting company upgraded cPanel lately? Do you know? I know mine upgraded my cPanel WHM within the last month or two, so possibly its an old version. No idea.

Did you delete all the files on your server and reinstall fresh? Did you run the diagnostics to look for third party files?
Have you been with this same host all the other times you were hacked?
Yeah all good questions in trying to find the issue. Also are you sure that there is no portion of the hack in the vBulletin database itself? Since you keep on getting the same thing, that maybe possible as well.
