One of the most popular blog service, experienced security incidents. Some of their servers compromised.
The statement was delivered WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg. Wednesday (13 / 4). ''We thought the WordPress source code has been opened and copied,''said Mullenweg on a company blog.
"We're researching and reviewing logs and records the data from it to see the extent to which information is exposed, and we secure the re-used paths," he said.
Matt estimate the source code that is in the server that has been copied. Although WordPress is Open Source, Matt said there are things in the server of sensitive Automattic code and partners.
In the record company, WordPress has become the target of high-level hacker attacks in 2009. Hackers have made use of security exploits in the popular blogging software, and create new administrative accounts that are hidden.
But this 2009 incident happen again this year. It's just different hacker attacks that occur. Theft of code that make WordPress into unsafe. However Automattic has moved quickly, to protect the users blog.
Matt's suggestion for users of WordPress, as he wrote, is just what they had previously suggested. This includes strengthening passwords, use different passwords for every site you use and change the password that is still the same.
"Our investigation is still ongoing and takes time. As I've said, we took decisive steps to prevent similar incidents in the future," he insisted.
