Always Upgrade to Latest WordPress

Online marketing information can change quickly This article is 6 years and 154 days old, and the facts and opinions contained in it may be out of date.

Is my advice if you’d like to keep from getting hacked. Just wanted to say a quick thanks to all the folks who took the time to let me know there was a problem (and to Mike for helping me get up and running quickly – it probably would have taken me weeks). To the folks who thought it was linkbait, I can appreciate skepticism, but you might want to tip your BS meters a bit further back towards “faith in humanity” – life is more enjoyable that way. Ironically enough, I was having lunch with Michael Gray when I got the news, so I’ll let him tell the story (or you can check out the blow-by-blow at threadwatch, so I can get back to work:)

Is google going to ban him like wordpress did? I hope so. I am assuming that someone has already reported it but maybe I will let google know just in case.
