um there is a file called getadmin i think or something like that. Uploaded it your admin dir and run it. DELETE IT AFTER YOU HAVE USED IT. there is loads about it on Vbulletin.com

I've been noticing in the forums that this has been going on quite a bit lately. Is this a vbulletin hole or simply admins with easy passwords or what?

Quite a cause for interest.

I got admin back, and now I will be watching very closely, and I have 3 very loyal friends who are the other admins as well who will be helping me out.

Thank you all!

It's easy to know what files to modify to upgrade the board.

You just have to know what files and templates were changed.

If you want more information, you can PM me

You heard wrong. Your template mods will stay through the upgrade. Then use Araxis Merge or Beyond Compare to move your hacks into the new PHP files. It doesn't take that long if you do it that way. In the mean time, you should at least password protect your admin directory.
