    Yes, they are.

    New registrations are suspended for the time being.

    How can a new member register with an existing users name...? Seems more like an exploit in vBulletin.

    Indeed, that appears to be exactly what it is. It's from a new vb hack that popped up recently. Fortunately we have secondary security measures that appear to have prevented the hacker from causing any harm. Registrations will likely remain offline for a few days while we make sure we've got the exploit handled, but there shouldn't be any cause for alarm at this point.
