    Today I saw a story on digg about Free Wordpress themes that have been infected with spyware. Here is a link to the story. The funny part is that I'm also using the theme that has been infected with spyware.

    Yep this really sucks because many people might be spreading spyware and don't even know about it.

    Ouch, this will also hurt the sales of those that sell sponsored links on wp templates.

    Wordpress needs to address this immediately before it ruins their reputation
