The interwebs are abuzz with concerns about WordPress security this weekend. If you use WordPress, you should always make sure you are running to the latest version.
Because of these concerns, the WordPress HelpCenter is open for special weekend hours (9am-5pm Central), and will be as responsive as possible to voice mail and email (help@wphelpcenter.com) received outside of those hours.
If you need help with your upgrade, think you’ve been hacked, or need any other WordPress help, give the HelpCenter a call at 512-788-9236.

Thank you so much. I was hacked, I used the service and it was terrific. Note to those who try it: The phones are on weekend mode, but staff are there. Send an e-mail to get started.

Security comes down a few things:
Good Systems Administration – up to date software both for application (wordpress + plugins) and operating system
Strong Passwords
Limit Password Reuse
Beware unencrypted connections (ie wireless hotspots)
Sticking to these basics would eliminate 99% of hacked systems.
