Upgrade your WordPress to 2.1.2

By Pankaj March 5, 2007 filed in Miscellaneous

If at all, someone reading this blog hasn’t heard the news from WordPress.org about upgrading your WordPress 2.1.1 to 2.1.2. Here is what Matt has to say in short …

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.

According to this news, someone has broke into one of the WordPress servers and modified the download file for WordPress 2.1.1 version released couple of weeks back. Nothing else has been affected by the attack.

So go ahead, download your copy of latest version 2.1.2 and upgrade to be on the safer side as this release contains some security patches anyway. You could read the full story here - WordPress 2.1.1 dangerous, Upgrade to 2.1.2.
