What does it mean that the site is not sufficiently secure? What can be done to prevent this and to protect our own forums?

Apparently its a exploit for a older version of vbulletin.

They also add some virus code for IE to the bottom of all those hacked pages so be careful about exploring them.

It's not just the skin and images, I think the VBulletin version has been upgraded too, which is a worthy cause I believe. But we are fast getting out of topic here.

It has to be an exploit, hmm maybe I should look through the code and see if I can find it

Also, forum owners SHOULD be doing backups ATLEAST weekly...

i had my site defaced in a similar way last year. I was using PHPnuke, all they had to do was adapt the URL so posts would not need authorizing before it was made public.

No skill whatsoever needed in those types of hacks as long as you can read a tutorial you can do it.

They claimd my site was satanic so defaced it (was a fan site for a film)
