WordPress Community Vulnerable

Just read about this on BlogSecurity that the WordPress Community is Vulnerable. Of the 50 blogs they selected 49 of them were vulnerable to known security attacks.

Might want to make sure you upgrade your WordPress blog software as soon as you can. This is one of the reasons I use Blogger. It might not have all the bells and whistles but it also does not have the same types of security concerns. Considering the number of scans I get on this blog alone for WordPress vulnerabilities it is just something I just don’t need the headache of dealing with. WordPress is great blog software, but it is a reminder that you need to keep it up to date besides just blogging.
