[Security] WordPress Update


Saturday, September 5th, 2009 - Security

I am seeing some reports of some issues with older versions of WordPress. Apparently there is a large hack going around that is affecting WordPress scripts that are not up-to-date. The latest version of WordPress is version 2.8.4. If you are not using WordPress 2.8.4, it is highly recommended that you upgrade.

For more information on this hack, see this WordPress blog post.

We always try to stress the importance of keeping scripts up-to-date and this hack underlines the importance of this. If you don’t believe that keeping your script’s up-to-date is a good idea, then I encourage you to read the following post directly from the WordPress Developers:
