    We are using wordpress for our main web site which i thought was fine to use and fairly 'safe'

    A few days ago a rival vb site got hacked, the owner is awol but the site is back up and running somehow.

    Anyway ran across a comment today which has me worried now

    I wouldn't be all that worried. On one site, we also use wordpress as a CMS. Never had an issue with that, more issues with vB. This zero-day exploit got us one day, changed all links to some doo.... whatever site.

    P.S. I should mention this is on a BIG site, over a millions posts, over a quarter million users.

    Dont worry about it , Obviously some kid thinking he knows more than he actually does. Wordpress is widely used amoung some massive sites , do you think they would be using it if there was a threat , Make sure you keep up to date with the latest versions and you'll be fine
