If you are running a blog or any site on wordpress, please take the time to upgrade to version 2.8.4 (or later), as soon as possible.

There is an internet worm doing the rounds at the moment that is using a malformed URL and a code injection exploit to create an admin account and post spam on those blogs.

Once one of our moth blogs gets infected, it will try and infect all the others, so please upgrade NOW and save yourself a lot of hassle later.
