Are any of the vB3 versions safe?

This is and always will be true of any software you run. And like any other software, vBulletin is about as "safe" as you make it.

It's silly to expect or demand otherwise, but as far as it goes, vBulletin is one of the hardest boards to "hack" there is. Most of the others, especially the free ones, are wet paper sacks, security wise.

There's all kinds of articles here and elsewhere about securing vBulletin. You might learn alot from them.

This is coming from a vBulletin owner who has had vBulletin up since 2005 and has never been "hacked" or defaced.

Where do I go from here?

This is why the unalterable/undeletable user option in the configuration file exists.
