   One hour, I believe. Also keep in mind that other sites have to be using the 1.5 URL as well.

   Indeed. The danger is that people will read "0 day" and start freaking out. If you actually read the post, you see a couple warnings signs: 1. They claim it's part of a larger conspiracy and that people should sue Automattic. 2. The "vulner

    Lying about a highly dangerous 0-day in a very widely distributed piece of software seems in bad taste, even for April Fools Day.

    I think the advice you're getting from Reddit is pretty sound. " Why do you have so many different side-by-side versions? Why aren't you making it a single app? This makes no sense. If you want these as separate apps, then it would make sen

    Agreed. That doesn't mean they're going to publicly disclose all of the details of the breach, especially before they've established its scope.
