I was quite surprised to find my server had been somewhat “compromised” so to speak. I was always focused on fighting spam in email, but overlooked other vulnerabilities. Occasionally I would happen to notice strange wiki entry references in the logs. I never put two and two together until today. I used group permissions to override the default “unauthenticated user” and only permit those authorized users to post. I saw the notice on the blog admin pages… I saw the tweets… Ok, let’s go ahead and upgrade to the latest and greatest WordPress. And that’s when the trouble began. It’s small in the scheme of things, but a big upgrade for the site.

Version 2.8 can be found here. Don’t know what the problem is, but checked the server again when there seemed to be problems with mail. Found out it wasn’t mail directly, but rather the CPU was experiencing extremely high CPU utilization again. Once again, it was running high for a couple of days. Hadn’t had a chance to look at the server since the upgrades and installation of WordPress over the weekend. Decided to take a quick look remotely with Server Admin. Saw that CPU usage on the server was 80-100%!!! Wow! Had been running like that since June 1. It almost appears some process didn’t execute properly [...] |    | |||||
