 * My WP_Cycle images were hacked and replaced by ShopWiki.com images.
 * I found one noted vulnerability described here [http://1337day.com/exploit/17396](http://1337day.com/exploit/17396),
   but I don’t know if this is the one responsible.
 * I’m considering removing WP_Cycle from my site, because I don’t know how to prevent
   it from happening again. Please advise if this plugin has been updated to prevent
   known vulnerabilities.
 * Thanks!

 * After more research, I found that ShopWiki.com was exploiting outdated URLs (
   I had some links still pointing to a development site and had let that development
   domain name lapse.) When I updated the links to the current site URL, the images
   were restored. So, that explains the ShopWiki problem.
 * Does anyone know if WP_Cycle has addressed this vulnerability: [http://1337day.com/exploit/17396](http://1337day.com/exploit/17396)?
