I'm not sure if it's me, but when ever I see WordPress in a news article, the first association is always with 'Mass Hacks'...

  It's a much safer platform these days... ...most of the sites with really important data have long since migrated away. Haha

    WordPress itself is not as insecure as people make it to be. Its code base gets a lot of scrutiny and security issues are fixed promptly. The problem begins when you start installing plugins... which most of them are coded by designers-turned-programmers who needed to add a new function to a client#s WordPress site. Reading their code its obvious that they are build by mix and matching tutorial and example code they googled.

      I haven't dug into any of this stuff, but wouldn't a smartly designed plugin system give plugin code fewer permissions to prevent precisely this sort of issue?
