Upgrade to WordPress 2.1.2 right away!

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to the Perfect Blogger RSS feed. You can follow me on Twitter, too! Thanks for visiting!

If you still haven’t taken time to upgrade from WordPress 2.1.1 to WordPress 2.1.2 - do this right now! You can read the official explanation on the WordPress blog, but the bottom line is that WordPress 2.1.1 downloads have been altered by a hacker, and therefore may contain a security exploit.

To make sure you’re secure, it is advised that you download and install WordPress 2.1.2.

Note: this only affects users of the WordPress 2.1.1 build, any other WordPress 2.x version was not infected.

pS: if you need help with upgrading your version of WordPress, feel free to leave a comment to this post and I’ll be sure to contact you by email.

I read about this before, and as I’m setting up a new blog..I realized I had 2.1. I’m guessing that’s affected. I already have my blog set up, theme and everything. How exactly should I go about replacing it? Thanks ahead of time.

Hi Mike,

2.1 is NOT affected. I’ll send you an email explaining what to do.

Thanks,
Gleb
