On top of that, I also spend hours tweaking some javascript plugins (Highslide) which allow my pics to be presented as thumbnails and clicked on to zoom in. So this kind of stupid attack - the objective is to get ad revenue for the hacker - I can live with (removing the code involved 1 file + I have all the files and the mysql database backed up). Comments on the site need to be moderated, so that kind of attack is unlikely and users can't login to my blog. So I have to weigh the risk versus the benefits - I need to better understand the WP upgrade process, to see what might break - versus the risk of a more serious attack...although I'm not even sure what that would entail. CMS apps come at a high price - security - it's patch or die - but I love my blog, it's so easy to use. Just one more thing to mention - my host, webserve.ca was less than helpful.
