WordPress Development Blog › 2.0.2 Security Release

This just in- there has been a security update to WordPress. The beauty of Open Source software is once again revealed- the people who found the problem chose to report it to the developers- instead of exploiting it with a virus or other malware.

If WordPress was a Microsoft product- it wouldn’t work this way.

We typically recommend waiting a day or two before updating- since sometimes, updates cause other problems.
