Peaches Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 14 April 2011, 12:43 Break-in at WordPress.com WordPress.com 's Matt Mullenweg has confirmed that attackers broke into its systems, gained root level privileges and that "potentially anything on those servers could have been revealed". While WordPress.com's software is open source, the source code on WordPress.com's servers contained configuration information and code written for partners which would include sensitive information which may have been accessed by the intruders. Wordpress.com's operator, Automattic, says that after reviewing logs it appears that only limited information was disclosed. At present there is no indication that the intruders stole passwords from Wordpress users and, even if they had, they are stored in hashed and salted form and therefore hard to crack.
