    My website, http://www.orderofmen.com, was hacked yesterday. I'm still kind of in shock right now as I do not know what to do. My website was hosted under hostgator and incluced a vbadvanced portal and vbulletin forum software.

    I can't even get into my admin control panel as it just redirects me to the page with the hackers message.

    Don't know what to do now

    Oh and for some reason, I can't load vbulletin.org or vbulletin.com for help. Both say there is a problem loading the page

    any other sites were hacked on the server?

    ask your host.

    you need to know where the hacker got in from.

    a single site running an insecure script, can lead to many other sites (on the same server) getting hacked.

    There have been a few private vbulletin exploits around, the hacker must've used that certain exploit to hack your forum.

    yeah I sent an email to host gator but they never responded so I don't know.

    Ended up asking the support at vbulletin to give me a hand. They got my forum back up and running :D
