The Register is reporting that Al Gore’s climate change site hacked. Matt, the founder of WordPress itself, looked at his WordPress blog and found out, the running version is 2.0.4, which was released in July of 2006, about 16 months ago. A good question he throws in his post is, that he wonders if these people want to upgrade but just need help, and if there’s something as a community we could do to assist them?
What’s unfortunate is that people see this as an indicator of WP security, they’re judging him and his team by bugs that have been fixed for more than a year.
