I was pulling my hair out. Fortunately, other (best) Wordpress admins had dealt with it before. :) The security issue is a very interesting incident. Unless someone had an insanely insecure password, it surely took at least a moderate level of skill to get it and do the damage. Obviously, I know nothing about Wordpress' distribution system, but still... I don't want to encourage or condone such things, but for some reason, such stories are always a bit amusing to me...and then I run off and check every server I manage to make sure I haven't been just completely owned! :) Hey man,

I think I am using the wp_get_links function in a few places, so I'll be watching for that and fix accordingly. As to the security issue, I've really thought about blogging about that, even though it's been in the news a few days now. It's such a strange event and rare to hear about. I certainly don't want to give undue credit to the cracker, but breaking into WordPress.org and inserting malicious code into a source package is not manageable by a novice. I am glad to hear of the WordPress team's response and plan of action. I think that should solve it. Hey thanks for paving the way on this.
