vb for me, that's impossible you said and it's the latest?
your friend might have trojan or keylogger installed on his/her computer, let him check his computer for malware and trojan

vB is the best by far. And I doubt he's getting hacked through vB - I'd guarantee it's a vulnerability on the server, or someone has somehow got his password.

sure thing. Or have him check the plugins, they often cause a bigger vulnerability issue than anything else on the forum.
