I received this this morning:

Yes, We Were Hacked
A vulnerable point was found in our vBulletin forum software that allowed hacker access. Others were affected, as well as PrintPlanet. Security has now been restored and we are working to get everything back as it was, prior to the breach. We apologize for any inconvenience, and ask that you please bear with us.

Either it's the Rooskies looking for Hillary's emails or it's those nice Nigerians trying to make the admin know that there's $4,756,890.36 waiting in the bank for him to collect.
 
vBulletin is quite outdated sadly. Hopefully you guys find something else that doesn't create a lot of work for you.

Thanks PLN — Yes, we looked at some other options when we upgraded the site in 2015. There are very few options that can deal with our level of activity and extensive database — not something that Wordpress can handle, for example. At that time, we thought upgrading from vB-4 to vB-5 was a more straightforward / painless upgrade = "The devil you know ...", and it's been OK until now. So, once again, we are looking into options.
