7.0.2 got released on Friday. Exploits are already happening. People reporting hacks
Friendly reminder to anyone who cares enough that you can still use WordPress to make your site with all your fancy plugins and layouts, and then export that to a static site for hosting. No need to actually host Wordpress itself that way you avoid nearly all of this BS.
Correction: WordPress IS a critical vulnerability.

The CVE list always cracks me up, there’s like tens daily
I have developed and hosted over 760 WP sites since 2006 and have never been hacked. Ever.
Mediocre craftspeople blame their tools.
I’ve driven a poorly designed car without many safety features for years, and I’ve never flown through the windshield, ever.
Glad you got lucky. But a tool having one critical vulnerability after another has nothing to do with mediocre craftsmanship and blaming admins for getting hacked after updating their software is nothing but disrespectful and condescending
It’s time to ditch WP if you haven’t already
It was time in 2013.
