If you host your own Wordpress then take note - there’s a php exploit on the loose that’s taken out several well known SEO blogs. Advice is to update to Wordpress 2.0.7 right now. You have no excuse if you’re compromised because you have been warned!
Updated 23rd Jan: there’s a shiny new Wordpress v2.1 that’s just been released - I recommend you upgrade to this, which includes the fix I mentioned below, along with a host of minor and not so minor changes (e.g. database performance caching)
If you don’t know how to upgrade to the latest version it’s quite easy:
- Download the latest version of Wordpress (this link is always to the latest good copy)
- Upload it to your server
- Unzip/untar it
- Copy it over your current install of WP
- Go to yourserver.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php and click the big button
- You’re done!
That was easy, right?
