Just a heads up; a client of mine was just hit with a Wordpress exploit which ended up getting their site labelled as "dangerous" on Google. This is rather bad for SEO I imagine...

So the time is ripe to make sure your Wordpress installs are up to date, as it seems it's pre-2.5 versions which have the vulnerability. But it's early days yet so I can't find anything more specific about this particular exploit.
