Sorry for the misinterpretation. What I intended to convey was that it's NOT just hacks and mods that are susceptible to being hacked...so removing all mods won't unilaterally make a site safe. This exploit could just as easily have been found in the base vBulletin code; or even an exploit in coding within the server OS, etc.
Vigilance in keeping up to date on ALL software patches & updates is still needed to have any real security; and even then - there's ALWAYS a risk.
Daily back-ups is your only real security.
