Technorati says upgrade your wordpress or else
For those using wordpress (self hosted) for their blogs…
We’re discontinuing processing crawls of blogs that exhibit common symptoms of being compromised. We strongly recommend upgrading your WordPress installation.
Technorati wants you to upgrade… Why? Because older wordpress installations, specifically version 2.3.3 have security “vulnerabilities” or issues.
Blogs that have been compromised by this security vulnerability are typified by having links to spam destinations inserted onto the blog page. These link insertions may be invisible to casual observations; the links are often obscured by style attributes that render them invisible. These links are still seen by crawlers such as Technorati’s, Google’s and Yahoo’s. - source
If Technorati is experiencing this, will other similar sites/services follow forcing their users to update?
