WordPress Update

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

I’ve noticed recently that the blog had been attacked a couple of times, with hackers being able to gain administrative access to WordPress.

Fortunately, they didn’t do any harm other than posting or adding links. I suspect that the attacks were purely automated attacks exploiting known vulnerabilities. Things could have been a lot more unpleasant.

Anyway, as a result, I decided it was about time that I updated the blog to the latest version for the security fixes it now has in place to guard against these attacks. Hopefully this will keep the blog safe for a little longer.

All I need to do now is convert my old theme…the default WordPress theme looks so… default. :-)
