Was there a flaw that allowed people to inject sql commands? I am looking a possible server issue, but I'm wondering if the blog had something to do with it. An account had wordpress, and the database disappeared. Covering all bases. thx, tom Follow-up: Possible db was still there, user was gone. Any info would help. thx. tom
Yes. There is mentioning of SQL insertion, but even it that is true, the potential for doing anything is there. So to limit it down to what was reported is too easy, and I didn't want fall into the catch-all support answers: "Customer error, let's upgrade and restore" or "Virus, let's upgrade and restore" or "Security flaw, let's upgrade and restore". After years of myself hearing this, they seem a little watered down. Thx, tom
That's why you should upgrade to 2.x But actually, I've been talking with the developers online and we're considering releasing a 1.5.3 version to fix some of the flaws and make people happy with staying on 1.5.x. I myself have a couple blogs still on 1.5.x, but mostly they are 2.x now. I suggest upgrading to 2.x though.
When 2.0 came out, some people didn't like that move, so they spent much time posting 'negative' things about it. So, it has tainted some people's view of it. So, I can see why some people don't want to do it just yet. But in this case the site was restored, from a backup, and the latest WordPress release is being used. Just that if there was a 'human' involved with the crash, I want to try and isolated the potential of that happening again. thx, tom
