Wordpress 2.1.1 is not safe! Upgrade now!

Posted by Apex

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.

Hackers broke into the WordPress download server early last week and embedded attack code into the 2.1.1 update of the application.

The malware opened a backdoor on infected systems that could allow an attacker to execute code and install software.

Go to Wordpress to learn about the hack and what you can do to protect your files.
