I came across an interesting post this afternoon about a possible security issue with Wordpress. Since so many of you use WP to run your photoblogs, I figured I would pass along a link. The fix is super simple, and I have implemented it on all my sites without issue…would recommend that you check it out.

A larger issue may be all of the “readme” and “info” and other files left behind – not just for WordPress and all the plugins and templates, but other apps as well. I recently found in my server logs two strange bots from Chinese IPs that were active looking for readme txt files. If a particular plugin or app version has a vulnerability, it certainly may be more effective to scan the txt files that could indicate versions.
