WordPress 2.8.5 released

The WordPress team have been working hard on version 2.9. Their work has identified a number of further security issues that they decided to back-port to the 2.8 branch so that existing WordPress sites are as secure as possible. The WordPress team recommend that all sites be upgraded to the latest version, WordPress 2.8.5, as soon as possible.

For more information, refer to the WordPress announcement at http://wordpress.org/development/2009/10/wordpress-2-8-5-hardening-release/.

If you have had security troubles with a WordPress site recently, you may wish to install the recently updated plugin ‘WordPress Exploit Scanner’. This plugin searches through your site and database records and attempts to find and report anything suspicious.
