Thank you for the advice. As now the forums are back up and thankfully there was no code inserted into the database itself. This can happen if the hacker gains access but it looks like they just gained access to the webserver and not the database. And they didn't create a user for themselves on the forum either. Slowly rebuilding the site with the mods.

But I have noticed that the Latest Post hasn't updated in 5 days. In the Forum Stats section at the bottom of the forum home page. Now granted during some of that time the forum was offline. But since it's been back online there have been additional posts made. When clicking on the View the Most Recent Posts on the Forum line in the status section. The new posts show there.

Just go into your forum maintenance and run the "Recount all forum totals and statistics" task.
Since you seem to have fixed your initial problem, I'll mark the topic solved.
