Even WP gets hacked-now there is 2.1.2

[Jan]

In the words of WordPress here
Upgrade here

How do I know what php version I have and MySql version to be able to upgrade?? EDIT: found the info on the cpanel on the left under general server information

The install is not to bad, but if you need help, just drop me a message. Most plugins and everything work fine with the new version still.

Would you know the command to do this on a linux box

block access to “theme.php” and “feed.php”, and any query string with “ix=” or “iz=” in it.

I wish I did know the answer to that question - but i would highly recommend you email these guys:
21securityfaq@wordpress.org

I've got wordpress running on IIS and just now getting around to setting up a LAMP server in my house - so still learning all the uber security settings. I would assume for blocking access to files you just would chmod the permissions to them, but i'm at a loss as to blocking query strings.
