Don’t Let Your WordPress Site Get Hacked
… especially when there’s a simple fix!
Keep your WordPress Blogs running the most recent version of the Main Core WordPress Software with up-to-date curated WordPress Plugins and WordPress Themes.
Simple right? Yet it still amazes me that WordPress bloggers fail to keep their sites up to date.
Today is one of those important WordPress Days. There is an important update to the Core WordPress Software so make sure to update NOW!
If you are a WordPress Blog Support Client you don’t have to worry about this ( we do it for you automatically). Otherwise make sure to get the latest build installed.
WordPress Updated to Version 4.4.2
WordPress 4.4.2 is now available. This is a security release for all previous versions and we strongly encourage you to update your sites immediately.
WordPress versions 4.4.1 and earlier are affected by two security issues: a possible XSS for certain local URIs, reported by Ronni Skansing; and an open redirection attack, reported by Shailesh Suthar.
Thank you to both reporters for practicing responsible disclosure.
In addition to the security issues above, WordPress 4.4.2 fixes 17 bugs from 4.4 and 4.4.1. For more information, see the release notes or consult the list of changes.
Stay Safe – Keep your WordPress Sites Updated.
