Every once in a while Wordpress releases newer versions of their popular blog platform urging people to upgrade to avoid hackers exploiting security loop holes. I always told myself that I would get around to it, but never actually made the time.

Yesterday I got a phone call from a friend asking me if I changed my site. Since I view my site quite a few times a day and actually viewed the site hours before, I confidently told him no. Much to my surprise, when I viewed my site I was greeted with a new screen.

In a post from Threadwatch you can read about shoemoney, wolf-howl, and stuntdubl also being hacked.

The moral of the story is if Wordpress offers an upgrade, you should seriously consider doing it immediately. Here is the latest Wordpress 2.2.1 version.
