If you haven’t, then you might want to get cracking. As written in this article “Has your Wordpress been hacked recently”, a very invasive hack is showing up on more and more Wordpress installations. The key to entry appears to be leaving your uploads directory CHMOD to 777 - something which many bloggers do in order to allow photo uploads. Once you’re infected it can take hours to clean things up (and yes, I do speak from experience!)
Don’t take any more risks - get the latest upgrade. And while you’re at it, pick up the Wordpress Upgrade plugin and make keep your install secure that much easier!
