Wordpress Hacked

Some hacker manager to somehow get an exploit into a number WordPress 2.1.1 downloads. Wordpress themselves aren't entirely shure how this came about but issued a 2.1.2 update as soon as they realized the problem. The hacker had somehow managed to modify two files in the 2.1.1 release, which would allow for the remote execution of PHP code. Not a pretty picture, eh? Version 2.1.2 can be downloaded from the Wordpress Site.
