Last week I activated it, and found one site that is a big forum to not work at all. So I turned it off. Last night I activated it again and fixed said forum.

In total I’ve fixed three accounts at this moment, the latest being another forum.

If any of your accounts have problems before contacting me make sure your files are not chmodded to 777 or 666. suPHP doesn’t like this instead leave them as 755 or 644.
If at this point your site still doesn’t work send in a support request and I’ll get it fixed asap.

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 :)
