45n5, very true.

I should have added that actually, not all the top 100 were Wordpress sites… and we were only looking for infections on Wordpress sites.

Which makes the stats even more worrying then.

The top100 was only mentioned to show the average user that even the big guns are being affected.

it has nothing to do with the top100 and everything to do with people using WORDPRESS!

You put a large target on your back that says “hack me” when you use wordpress, especially when you don’t religiously update the security patches.

Yes, we spoke to the blog owner prior, and he sent us a nice email thankyou.

Keith Dsouza was hacked about an hour ago. He runs a tech blog. All this sounds just like what he just went through.
