“Research from security vendor Checkmarx revealed that 12 of the top 50 plug-ins for the WordPress platform are susceptible to attacks such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting.”

So glad to see this ‘reloaded’ version of the list still alive and well. Thank you to all those who made it happen.

Many thanks to all those who are keeping it alive! Best group evr.
My main criticism of Ning is that it’s a mile wide (tons of participants), but not too deep. So many of the groups seem deserted.
Cheers!

The shorter version would read "If you run a WordPress website, pay attention to updates, install updates, be smart about things."
Cheers!
