[wp-hackers] Mysql.com cracked, possible bad PR for WordPress

[Vid Luther]

So, security lists are going to have a field day with this one, and I wanted to help this community  get ahead of it.

First see http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2011/Mar/309?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

and

A knee jerk reaction I'm seeing in channels is that it's WordPress' fault, it's easy to blame, but it may be more a case of a known 
exploit not being patched, I'm not aware of any SQL injection vulnerabilities in the past year though. 

Here's wishing them all luck, and a reminder to all of you to update your installs, including PHP/apache etc :).
