    It would appear so. Funnily enough, the forum itself seems to be working fine. I'll pass this on to Higher Authority.

    If you currently use an older version of vBulletin on your website, you might be opening up your site to an attack as some serious security vulnerabilities, which allows hackers to access your hosting admin panel.

    The old http://forum.talkdj.net/ forum still looks up and running but has been abandonded by its members for a few months now!, althought that site doesnt use the vbulletin package. I think a few members are on here actually!

    Looks like Yaser Ranjha has hacked it now... shame because I was enjoying the Neo-hacker's music!

    finally worked out how to get in after bypassing the home screen, straight into a saved history thread.

    Looking at Marcs link, it appears they have had access to other forums emails and passwords, from the pictures, but ive not been spammed to death yet so fingers crossed they are not using them.

    Dunno how these things work but i'm assuming our paypal details are safe for those who support the forum?
