I think you are safe. If VBulletin had this kind of vulnerability they wouldn't be so popular. |
how about the owner of the board? i am sure there is a way for them to see your password. even so it was not from my pass on that board. it was from a failed login attempt.

is was not a 12345, it is a combo of letters that only someone who knew it would be able to use it. the chances of even brute forcing my GFY pass vbulletin has protection.
and my computer is not hacked. i bought it 4 days ago.
i know it was them. i logged in with wrong info lastnight on this board. it was not my stored password on there. it was a FAILED LOGIN ATTEMPT.
i tried 3-4 different passes. i am pretty sure vbulletin stores the failed attempts. including which ip address it was from.
