This just came to my attention thanks to @lorelleonwp. Attacks on past versions of wordpress are happening now! Article: http://twttr.it/wpattack

I keep all my wp installs up to date. I even have a shell script that updates them in seconds! As I have said in an earlier post feel free to send in a support request on this and I’ll add you to the script.

EDIT: If you are running a past version of wordpress it is now mandatory and you must upgrade within 48 hours of this post. The damage that the worm can do to your website will take a couple of hours to reverse. It includes installing a fresh copy of wordpress and importing all your old posts and etc.
This post was revised on September 8, 2009 @ 1:00pm (EST -5). Thank you all for understanding :)
