Earlier today my index.php was replaced by a hackers idiotic front page.

I was quick to react my re-uplaoding my original vB index, and that took care of it.

But, I'd like to know how my site was compromised like this. Do I have a option on that might have been open to attacks? How can I prevent this from happening?

Fortuntate,y there doesn't appear to be any damage to the functionality of the site as of yet.

Actually no, the index keeps getting replaced

Replaced (index) files are usally done thru compromised server security. Please contact your host for more assistence.

Please read the following thread on how to improve security for your board:

So this would rather be a host/server issue than vB issue?

Yes

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
