Shoemoney talks about Protecting the Plugins directory of Wordpress
Over at Shoemoney we read about an exploit in the plugins directory for Wordpress.
Why is this dangerous? Well when a exploit is found (its never if its always when) people can EASILY use Google to find who is running what plugin and exploit your server. Most of the plugins have not been gone over very well for security and I expect there are many out there that allow remote shell and various db exploits but just have not been uncovered yet.
So beware!
