Just two days ago several highly targeted attacks started wrecking carnage on WordPress powered sites. The WordPress team released version 2.8.5 to combat these security flaws and within a few hours all VirtualCMS customers sites had been upgraded.
 

As a reminder, at VirtualCMS we take a thorough approach to your site’s security. We constantly monitor the WordPress forums to learn of upcoming threats. We deploy firewalls between our web servers and database servers to limit a hacker’s ability to cause harm. Each VirtualCMS client is isolated from all others and in the unlikely event that one is hacked, we can recover from our off-site snapshots within less than an hour.
