My Wordpress install got hacked
Wednesday, April 30, 2008 at 1:26PM
It was an old version. I reckon I should upgrade.
A plugin was installed in /tmp/ro8kbsmawge.txt that was apparently spamming people. *sigh*
Anyway, the only way I discovered it was hacked was because I was getting an error while uploading images from MarsEdit.
I was getting an XMLParse error and no data was coming back in the response.

Ouch, what a pain in the butt!
my own damn fault for not upgrading regularly.
it does speak for blogging tools as a managed service though. perhaps i should migrate to blogger or something.
