 * Anyone seen !nf3rN.4lL – it gets hold of the admin password in wordpress and 
   hacks the blog

 * My blog was just compromised – the title was changed to !nf3rN.4lL as was the
   description. Searching on google produces blogs and forums that are !nf3rN.4lL
   hacked.

 * This very probably has nothing at all whatsoever to do with WordPress.
 * The fact is your blog is a very public page which is why it has been defaced.
 * Look at the server security and the security of other php apps that have known
   holes the size of trains in first.

 * Probabally a MySQL injection from vulnerabilities in the plugins.. im guessing
   you are probabally running something that executes php in posts?

 * It is **NOT** a hole in WordPress.
 * WordPress 1.5.2 has NO known holes.
 * **UPDATE**

 * First, it is not a “hole” in wordpress, it is a mysql injection
    2nd its from
   may 15th at least of 2005 3rd the solution is to Upgrade to wordpress 1.5.1
 * so if you are running the latest version 1.5.2… its patched
