WordPress Version
We are running WordPress 3.5.1 and despite what many supposed "security experts" claim letting you know what version we are running does not make us less secure.Did We Make a Mistake?
While it seems to be acceptable for blogs discussing web security to contain numerous factual mistakes, we hold ourselves to a higher standard. We only write about things that we actually understand and only after we have double checked the information. So if you see a mistake in one of our posts please leave a comment on the post or contact us so that we can add a correction.
