Wordpress Site Hack!

Hello!

This is a general warning to anyone who has a PowerStore site in the same directory as a Wordpress site. You are vulnerable to hacking. There is a flaw in Wordpress and my Wordpress site was hacked. And my PowerStore site was also hacked as well. I am re-uploading it as we speak. There's a code that writes to every page on the site that downloads MalWare onto users computers when triggered. Pretty nasty stuff.

Can you WebAssist folks look into this to see if the PowerStore is vulnerable in the same way that WordPress was? It's a php vulnerability in the CMS - I'm guessing.

If you have a wordpress site - upgrade immediately!
