Today we've put wordpress 2.8-5 into the app vault for you all to upgrade to and all new installs should use this.

If you follow the below steps you should be safe and encounter few if any problems:

1) Backup your files and databases before performing this upgrade.
2) Disable all custom plugins before upgrading also
3) upgrade via the app vault
4) re-enable plugins 1 by 1

Please let us know how you get on with this. All feedback is welcome.

Our main website is currently under attack. We're working to mitigate this attack at the moment and hope to have our site back online shortly.

We'll post further updates when we have them.

Update: 20:30

This attack is on-going, our site may be available to some people and not to others. We're working on a resolution currently. We hope to resolve this issue in the next 24 hours.

Update: June 9th 08:15

This DDOS continued for 4 days solid. We did however keep our site online for the duration and I'll write up some notes on how we did this in the not too distant future.
