BLOG: "WORDPRESS BLOGS AT RISK FROM WORM"

Saya baru saja berfikir untuk berpindah ke WordPress blog apabila saya terbaca satu artikel dari ZDNet, sebuah majalah online IT, yang mendedahkan bahawa blog-blog WordPress berhadapan dengan risiko dari sejenis virus worm

Dilaporkan worm ini sedang dalam edaran dan boleh meletakkan malware dan spam ke dalam blog-blog WordPress. Artikel ini selanjutnya menyatakan:
"The vulnerability allowing the attack was discovered on August 11, at which point WordPress encouraged users to upgrade to version 2.8.4. However, many people have yet to upgrade, and reports online indicate the worm is making progress by the hour.
The worm does not affect the current version 2.8.4 and the one prior to it, and it only affects people who host their own WordPress blog. Blogs hosted on WordPress.com are unaffected."
Jadi, bagi para blogger yang menggunakan WordPress, harap segera upgrade kepada versi 2.8.4.

Tiada pula terdapat laporan setakat ini tentang risiko terhadap blog Blogger seperti blog penulis dan kebanyakan blog-blog dalam alam cyber di negara ini.  Mungkin ini disebabkan WordPress telah menjadi semakin popular dan dengan itu mudah dijadikan sasaran oleh hackers.
