WordPress Hacked, Upgrade NOW

March 2, 2007 · 5 comments

If you were an early adopter and upgraded your WordPress installation to version 2.1.1 you might be running with a severe vulnerability. A cracker got access to one of the servers and edited the code to allow for exploits. Matt has the rest. You can get the download for v2.1.2 in the usual place.

PaulStamatiou.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress

How smart is your Theme?  How good is your support? Check out ThesisTheme for WordPress.

Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.

With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like PaulStamatiou.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.

It’s only in the last few days that the download was comprimised, but either way, upgrade. There’s some bug fixes in 2.1.2 as well.
