Unwelcome Guest Viewing Forums

[twoedges6]

I have an issue where I can see who is on-line and there sometimes appears to be a "guest" viewing my forum index. Usually it is an Anonymous from somewhere in California. Today it is someone from Japan. I just checked all of my forum permissions and guests have zero access to my forum. Are these guests Admins from our forum host (forumotion) or has someone somehow hacked their way into my forum? Thanks.
