# /docs/CHANGELOG.html hack?

 * I’ve been getting quite a few requests lately for a page that doesn’t exist on
   my site, nor in the WordPress package as far as I can tell: /docs/CHANGELOG.html.
   I’m guessing it’s a clumsy hacking exploit, just wondering if anyone else is 
   seeing it in their traffic logs and if any sort of security patch is necessary
   for WP. I can’t find much on the Web about this; near as I can tell, it might
   be a breach for ExpressionEngine sites.

 * My blog also received it around 14 hours ago. The visitor came from Romania.

 * We have two sites that started seeing page requests for /docs/changelog.html 
   around 3/18.

 * We don’t use WordPress, or ExpressionEngine.
 * At this time, we’ve accumulated about 6,000 bogus pageviews from this source.
