For any affiliate marketer having a site that’s secure is critical as having everything taken over means you lose everything. Fortunately the latest versions of WordPress has automatic updates available for these kind of critical exploits and we all owe a debt of gratitude to the geeks who found this out.

A few days ago Klikki reported a zero-day exploit and the media were quick to report it too. WordPress finally responded to the team, it seems they weren’t communicating back and posted a patch.

WordPress 4.2.1 has begun to roll out as an automatic background update, for sites that support those.

For more information, see the release notes or consult the list of changes.

Download WordPress 4.2.1 or venture over to Dashboard → Updates and simply click “Update Now”.
