Picture Perfect Paranoia

I just got word of this just now. Here’s the blog post detailing the statistics of user who are using previous versions. There’s even a small number of users running v 1.2. That’s quite very late in updating, isn’t it?

For those wondering, here’s the survey linked in the post.

Honestly, I’m quite skeptic of these “warning” posts about vulnerable blogs. Especially when you’re running an open source blog software like Wordpress. Still, it’s not too late to be careful, because I’m actually running v 2.1.2, which is older than the latest release from the official Wordpress team, v 2.2

Here’s one post that’s official, from the Wordpress team blog. They also have a post about the latest version.

So, a word to the wise (as well as to people like myself): Update now!
