WordPress Hacking

There’s been some interesting posts around the net over the past week about WordPress blogs being hacked. The source vulnerabilities appear to be embedded within various WordPress themes created by outside developers.

 There’s a pretty decent write-up on GigaOm. It’s good to see this kind of attention outside of the usual security crowds.  Note: This blog runs on WordPress. Serves as a friendly reminder to review and understand the source code running on your site or application.

 Update: It looks like some more blog hacking just made the news. Al Gore’s blog has been hacked. Les Orchard (friend and former colleague of mine) appears to have has the same issue over at Decafbad.
