Spam injection hack: Upgrade and tighten WP now!

Ronnie, I'm not sure how they get in. I was running 2.3 and I must admit my security wasn't too hot so maybe it was just an automated hack. I'm not sure that turning off Akismet will stop it. And deactivating it is their main goal anyway.

And Bill... damn. It's good you've fixed it. I'm glad I posted about this because it's been useful to someone at least. I wonder how many other people have had this happen in the last couple of days.
