Caution is the parent of safety. That would be true advice for publishers as well – a little time spent upgrading now insures you from fixing something later.
Security is the most essential part about your blog. There are worms everywhere, and there’re a few infecting WordPress blogs. They can only harm outdated versions of WordPress, but they are quite clever, able to register a user and to use a security holes. Such bugs were fixed in the new versions, so now the worms can’t execute evaluated code through the permalink structure, thus making themselves admins. They used to be very quiet, hiding while you were looking through user’s page, and even tried to clean up after themselves, so that you wouldn’t ever notice them inserting malware and hidden spam into your posts.
How to keep you blog secure?
The strategy is always the same. Once the publisher notices the consequences of the worm’s presence, he starts digging deeper and revealing the extent of the damage. As the new worms are intelligent and silent, you might miss the right time and get your site removed from Google for containing malware. So there’s only one way: to upgrade. Of course, it’s a known quantity of work, but WordPress community made it as easy as possible, providing you with “one-click” upgrades, which would definitely take you less time than fixing a hacked site.
The current WordPress version is immune to the last worm, but hackers keep developing as well. So now can be a really good time to upgrade for those who have been thinking about it, but never got around to it yet. Do that and give an advice to your friends to do the same, it can help much.
You can also get other tips on how to fight the worms, but neither of them guarantees you the 100% safety. The easiest and the fastest way you could be offered is to hide the version and relax. However, the latest build of the worm tests capabilities only, not version number. The other solutions might be even useful, like using a strong password for your login. But this won’t give you an absolute guarantee as well, so there’s actually only one real way for you to sleep well, the only thing that’ll undoubtedly keep your blog secure, – upgrading. Remember that WordPress community does a great work every day, auditing and updating the code, caring for your blog security. It also made upgrading both core and plugins a one-click procedure. So, please upgrade if there’s a new version out – that’s the only way bloggers can help each other.
