I have been so lazy about upgrading Wordpress in the past year. But there’s nothing as motivating as getting forwarded a link containing,
Otto42 of OttoDestruct, a key WordPress developer and supporter, reports that there is an “attack” on older versions of WordPress right now. The number of sites hit by this is growing every hour. Protect your WordPress blog now: UPDATE NOW!!!
Update your WordPress blog before you continue reading this post. That’s how critical this issue is.
Of course, I took the author at her word and just went and upgraded Wordpress. Then I went back and read how to figure out if my installation had already been attacked, and what to do in that case, which is to completely remove the installation and to not export the database. I think that’s information that probably should be included at the top of the post. Before the “impending doom, take action now” part. In any case, I know better than to listen to people when they say, “read no further!–”
