Blog upgrade

Matthew Hoy
By Matthew Hoy on May 14, 2008

Hoystory has been upgraded to WordPress v2.5.1. As I was searching my archives for a particular post, I discovered that someone had managed to hack into some of my posts and place links to various Bob Dole-type drugs. You know the ones I'm talking about.

I don't know how it was done, though I recall getting a warning a couple months ago that my blog wasn't secure. I discounted it at the time because the warning was anonymous and non-specific.

I didn't upgrade to the latest (read: most secure) version of WordPress at the time, because I was unsure how the numerous changes in the latest version of WordPress would affect my Redoable theme. It appears, thus far, that my concerns were misplaced.

However, if you do come across something funky that wasn't there before while navigating the site, leave a comment on this post, or e-mail me at hoystory-at-gmail-dot-com. (My cox.net address is inoperable at the moment as it is affected by unscheduled maintenance.)
