[Security] Outdated WordPress installs to be disabled

We still have about 82 percent of the WordPress installs that were written a couple of weeks ago that have not been updated to 2.6.1 or later. I am going to have to begin disabling these installs because these older versions do not need to stay active indefinitely.

I will only be disabling WordPress installs that are older than 2.5.1. If you are using WordPress 2.5.1 or later, then you won’t have your install disabled. You really still need to upgrade to WordPress 2.6.2, but at this time I am not going to make any changes as long as you are running WordPress 2.5.1 or later.

If you insist on continuing to run a WordPress install that is older than 2.5.1, then I implore you to please contact the WordPress developers or visit their support community at:

Running anything less than 2.5.1 (really anything less than 2.6.2) is unsafe. You can discuss your options with the community at this address.

I will likely begin disabling these scripts early next week. So if you have not yet updated, now is the time to be doing so.
