Hacked blogs can be used to upload malware as well as shells and tools that can be used for spamming/phishing, so all the same thing. Decent first step.<p>This is also a big reason why we started Webpub.com (startup), it keeps all your WordPress insallations auto-updated without you having to do anything. And soon plugins/themes and other scripts like Drupal, Magento etc. Spent the last year building a framework on the bottom for secure FTP/Web interaction, an XML-API for the middle, and the frontend just launched about 50 days ago.
