Heads Up To Bloggers: Wordpress Exploit Hitting Blogs – Update is Now Out

If you are using Wordpress as you blogging engine, and not wordpress.com but self hosting your site, there is an update that needs to be applied ASAP.

There is a exploit running around where your site could be redirected to anothers site, and since most of you are realtors, this could be damaging to your reputation. A bunch of the SEO bloggers got hit today with it, so this is not something to blow off.

The fix is rather easy. Follow the instructions in the instructions in the read me file. Do a good back up of your site and database and all should be okay. I copied everything except for the wp-content folder and overwrote it all. Get the version 2.0.7 of wordpress here.

We have applied the update and The Real Estate Bloggers is working fine and safe until the next exploit.

Update: Here is the geeky information on the havoc this exploit is having on a couple of sites from Threadwatch.
