The blog of the day over at PPP has a post up about how our blogs can be hacked. I guess with the last WP upgrade there was a security issue and many hackers took advantage of it.

I have been running into an issue with WordPress that I’d like some help with. As you know if you use WordPress, there is a WordPress plugin that allows you to track your blog stats. However, I have run across SEVERAL themes that, if I use them as my blog’s theme, seem to BLOCK visitors from being tracked on this stats page.
