WordPress Security Breach
A note to all out there. If you use WordPress for your blog and have recently upgraded, there has been a security breach and you need to upgrade again immediately. All of the details are at WordPress.org but here’s a quick snippet:
Long story short: If you downloaded WordPress 2.1.1 within the past 3-4 days, your files may include a security exploit that was added by a cracker, and you should upgrade all of your files to 2.1.2 immediately.
Longer explanation: This morning we received a note to our security mailing address about unusual and highly exploitable code in WordPress. The issue was investigated, and it appeared that the 2.1.1 download had been modified from its original code. We took the website down immediately to investigate what happened.
So if you are running that version, please make sure that you upgrade ASAP.
