WordPress v2.8.4

Hot on the heels of the latest version of WordPress comes a new version with another security hole fixed. This wasn’t a major one, just an annoyance that lets a malicious user keep reseting a particular user’s password. It wouldn’t let them get into the blog, but it could be used to keep harassing a user (Now if someone chases you to sell low cost term life insurance and they have a WordPress blog, you know how to annoy them).

Anyway, the new release blocks the whole and helps Wordpress be a little bit more secure than before, so go ahead and download it.
