SteamrolledGobias User ID: 15716609 United States 04/13/2013 09:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Did the WordPress folks refuse to become part of the Google/FaceBook/cia/fbi/dhs/mi1-1o empire? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19198791 Did they refuse to allow open access to their customers' accounts and personal details? Wordpress is 100% free and open source for anybody to use and edit the codebase. It doesn't really have "customers". More like users and developers |

SteamrolledGobias User ID: 15716609 United States 04/13/2013 09:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What does it mean this , can anyone explain what could happen please ? sorry for being thick i not heard of wordpress Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37580724 It probably won't mean too much for you if you don't run websites. This honestly isn't a huge deal IMO. Here's a snippet from the article: The unknown people behind the highly distributed attack are using more than 90,000 IP addresses to brute-force crack administrative credentials of vulnerable WordPress systems Quoting: ftaSo basically this system/network is targeting Wordpress websites and brute-forcing the admin passwords. Then once they are logged into admin they can fuck around with anything... so it's not good if people running a Wordpress website have a weak admin password. And to clarify just for those who don't know, Wordpress is a blogging platform. You would buy a website server and then download Wordpress from here: [link to wordpress.org] It's a free script that is managed by a team of developers. So webmasters can install Wordpress and then run a blog or website without coding everything from scratch. It is just a more advanced method of managing a website.

Use Google Chrome, just don't do anything suspicious. Also carry two laptops, like me. I should elaborate. Google Chrome is virtually bug free by pure virtue of the fact that it's monitors it's ass off as a trade off. Google makes it's money off of user data. It's made no secret of this. One of it's biggest buyers is Uncle Sam. So use Google Chrome for your normal day to day stuff then look into one of the dark nets and look into something else for cruising your darker conspiracy sites + your videos of area 51. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 37536239 Canada 04/13/2013 11:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "Security analysts have detected an ongoing attack that uses a huge number of computers from across the Internet to commandeer servers that run the WordPress blogging application." Quoting: Xorizov "The unknown people behind the highly distributed attack are using more than 90,000 IP addresses to brute-force crack administrative credentials of vulnerable WordPress systems, researchers from at least three Web hosting services reported. At least one company warned that the attackers may be in the process of building a "botnet" of infected computers that's vastly stronger and more destructive than those available today. That's because the servers have bandwidth connections that that are typically tens, hundreds, or even thousands of times faster than botnets made of infected machines in homes and small businesses."
