WordPress Websites – Patch Now!

April 28, 2015

A zero-day vulnerability can crush a system and WordPress is no stranger to vulnerabilities. WordPress is one of the most utilized content management system used to provision websites. Recently, two vulnerabilities were discovered that would allow the bad guys to take control of your unpatched website. That could be a pretty ugly result if they changed the home page to display some offensive content or configured the site to capture personally identifiable information (PII). The good news is that a patch has been released to address the zero-day vulnerabilities.

Do you think it would be a good idea to patch your WordPress site? Doh?
