WordPress 2.1.1 dangerous, Upgrade to 2.1.2
All WordPress 2.1.1 users take note:
Long story short: If you downloaded WordPress 2.1.1 within the past 3-4 days, your files may include a security exploit that was added by a cracker, and you should upgrade all of your files to 2.1.2 immediately.
Apparently a hacker cracker gained access to one of their servers and inserted some dodgy code!
If your blog is running 2.1.1, please upgrade immediately and do a full overwrite of your old files, especially those in wp-includes. Check out your friends blogs and if any of them are running 2.1.1 drop them a note and, if you can, pitch in and help them with the upgrade.
Read more at the WordPress site. If you’re running anything older than v2 you might want to consider upgrading too.
