Sites that are running older versions are vulnerable but if you keep uptodate you will minimize the risk.

OMG.

Does this mean all of our sites are open to this kind of attrack?

I am hoping it was fixed in a new update.

Talk about bad luck….

This experience just goes to show you: it’s better to build a site on a domain you own instead of relying on Wordpress. Why not spend a few dollars every month to build your primary web presence. Blogging is the wrong approach to building a business web site. Blogs lack what you need to make money online, which is the goal most webmasters persue.

Does that mean anyone can sabotage a well ranked site? Am I missing something here?

Ughhh Why can’t hackers foul up their own back yard?! I had a membership site of mine compromised a couple of weeks back and the hours of headaches it generates is something no webmaster needs!

Hey Al, I share your pain.

My site was nicked on May 22nd. My solution was to remove Wordpress all together and write my own CMS platform. I understand that programming is not everyone’s job (or hobby) but for me, it was a faster solution that auditing a ton of php code.

Cheers!
