by using microsoft software? :-)
seriously though, going back to our previous discussion, and rubbing it in a
bit, this is an example of what i mean. If it was a microsoft product, we'd
have 50 posts saying MY GOD MICROSOFT ARE LAME! USE OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE!!!
MICRO$OFT SUXORS!!!
the solution is to keep softeware up to date. On any platform. and make sure
you use software that is still maintained by the vendor.
PS: Wordpress has had a fairly bad security history iirc. infact, most PHP
applications have a bad security history, because the sort of people who
*generally* write PHP code generally don't know the concepts of security.
