Backing up is more complicated than that, it's not like there is options too do that. And this won't happen again, the backups are being taken more regularly.

As r2k said, you need access to where it is hosted to take it over. I suspect he didn't hack into vBulletin, but directly into pursuited's computer.
Uhh..
All they had access to was the ACP.
The only thing they can do with the ACP is things to do with vBulletin.
They would need one of the ftp usernames and passwords to get on, delete everything then put their mark all over it.

Hmmm, well if they hacked into an Admin's PC, doesn't that mean that that admin actually lacks secruity? I think he deserves a punishment or a rehabilitation time , don't you think?
Also in ACPs, can't you change usernames and passwords? Why hadn't they done that to moderators for example? No idea, but I've got a bad feeling about it ...

They may have, but it has been restored. That is just one admin, and his powers have been removed if you check. It doesn't mean he is no longer an admin, it's just a safety precaution until we are sure it is safe.

You can change passwords in the ACP, but it's logged and we've reviewed what the attacker has done to ensure there's no lasting damage.
