Apparently this attack on Word Press blogs is widespread. I’d been running 2.7.something up until yesterday, but I was lucky and my blog is still intact. Not that it would be a huge deal if it was invaded, anyway. Still… The really dumb thing is that since I was running 2.7.something, upgrading to the latest was as simple as hitting a button. In the past it was a little more complicated than that (which is why poor Andy Ihnatko got hit).

Since I’m in the middle of a little crash course in PHP/MySQL anyway, I should really take the three minutes to learn how to backup my database.
