If you are using Drupal 7, you absolutely need to upgrade to version 7.3 immediately... sigh. This drill seems like it's never ending, but it's a fact of life in today's Internet World. This particular vulnerability is a bad one. It allows a hacker to take total control of your site... and unfortunately, like many of these... it's easy to exploit.

We have continuously reported on WordPress, Drupal and other exploits as they have come up.  They have resulted in uploading of malicious code, stolen credit cards, volume spam delivery, defacing of web sites and a myriad of other bad stuff (that's a technical term). Unsurprisingly, this particular exploit has been termed "highly critical" in case you were wondering. Happily, for those of you who use our Build111, Church111 or other 111 Web Studio system, you can be comfortable in the fact that when it needs patching, you don't have to worry about it... we do it, and we do it quickly, so you don't have to do it (shameless plug!!!).

If you have any questions about Internet security, web design, programming, search engine optimization or any other web related issue, please contact 111 Web Studio for more information by calling 877.397.7605 or contact us online.
