If you haven't already you need to re-upload ALL your vbulletin files as if you were doing a new install... your settings are in the database so you shouldn't lose much, if anything, from replacing the files.

However I am thinking of another way now to fix this.. So please advice me on this:

I have very old mysql database backup for this site ie about 1 year old.

I think I should delete existing(hacked) database and restore that old (backup)database and import the posts, threads and users table etc from existing(hacked) database as they are still as it is there.

So anyone can advice me which tables should be necessary to import from old database?

Is there a reason you can't or don't want to re-upload the files? How are you so sure the hacker was unable to access the files? No harm could come from trying to replace them.

I already did but that didn't worked..

So, uploading your files didn't work or you just don't want to? I'm confused, you're kinda contradicting yourself at times ...

I think it's pretty clear he uploaded the files and it didn't work, at least I hope that's what he said.

A year old backup is better than nothing I guess- it's not just posts but a year of new users and PM's and everything else lost... at least you'll be up and running. I don't think there is a practical way of re-importing your posts and users though but it's not something I ever tried.

The most imp. think I want is users and posts.. So i just need details on that.. Pms and other things are not that imp..

What I would do is:

1.Export members+posts
2.Delete current database
3. change ftp/cpanel passwords
4. create new database
5. connect to server/ftp
6. delete all files/directories
7. Download vbulletin
8. upload and install vbulletin
9. import old backup
10. import members + posts that you exported from your recent database.

That'll get your site back online.

What mods did you have?

Did you disable hooks? Don't styles use some hooks? Try doing that.
