thank you for contacting our technical support team.

Please note that most of hackers' attacks are usually done through vulnerabilities of website software which you are using (like forums, blogs, CMS, any other php-based applications). We cannot keep them secured as we are not the developers of such kind of software. From our side, all server-side software (web services, FTP services, etc..) we are keeping up-to-date and protected.

So, It is strongly recommended to review everything that you have in website folder and try to determine the way you may protect your applications. For example, If you have any widely-used software installed (forum, blog, etc.etc.), check the vendor site for recent updates or security fixes.

Please also note that your files are located on the Linux-based server and you are able to change file/folder permissions so make sure you do not have any "open" files/folders with write permissions set for all.
So please check if any folders has full granted permissions 777 set, which is means that it's worldwriteable for anyone from the Web. Recommended permissions are 755 or 644.

I also recommend you to change your current FTP password through the Control Panel (Manage -> FTP manager -> Password icon). Some widespread trojans have a functions to steal FTP passwords from user`s local PC`s and send these passwords to hackers (or special bots which were made by hackers). So you need to scan your local PC for viruses (using in-depth scanning) and change your current FTP password

That one is a good decision coz vbulletin I think is the most secured of all forum softwares.
