 * Hi all, I’m about to get WordPress up and running but am aware that from time
   to time there are security exploits found – does WordPress run a mailing or simialr
   for notifications of potential/proven problems? If not, has anyone got any recommendations
   for lists i can follow?
 * Thanks for your help.

 * **Your** wordpress admin dashboard is the place for such announcement, but no
   mailing list, unfortunately.

 * Hi am brand new to WordPress and am very concerned that there doesn’t exist a
   specific security mailing list. As this thread was first posted 11 months ago,
   is there an update to this, is there now a security mailing list?
 * Anyone with a wordpress installation should be automatically notified of security
   exploits.
 * What is the wordpress admin dashboard?

 * _What is the wordpress admin dashboard?_
 * Install it and you will see it.
 * No, there is no such mailing list and we all are still OK.
 * If you are _that_ concerned… the internet is not the right place for you.
