I have just recently upgraded my wordpress to Wordpress 2.6.1 and now they are having another upgrade. They said that recent wordpress platform makes any possible attempt to your blog a reality. The attacker can change your password to your account and thus it would create a terrible change in your account. Of course, I’m sure that no blog owner would want their own blog to be hack or to be managed by other third party not known to them.

I have just recently upgraded my wordpress to Wordpress 2.6.1 and now they are having another upgrade. They said that recent wordpress platform makes any possible attempt to your blog a reality. The attacker can change your password to your account and thus it would create a terrible change in your account. Of course, I’m sure that no blog owner would want their own blog to be hack or to be managed by other third party not known to them.

I remember reading a blog article about hacking. This was 2 months ago so I couldn’t remember the name of that blog. He said that the hacker has change something on his Wordpress although not seriously as changing the password, luckily for him that the attacker isn’t bad at all or else he would have lost his blog.

Stephen Esser said that this is not easy but it could be made if the attacker is that serious of their attacks. No one knows your password but because of the weakness of mt_rand(). Updating your blog now to Wordpress 2.6.2 could help you save your blog now and it could also save a lot of headaches in the future.

Wordpress 2.6.2 could be downloaded here.

    I have been wanting to have a wordpress account. I actualy had one but was frustrated of the system. Probably because I am used to blogspot.
