Wordpress is a joke, worst CMS in the history on the interwebz.
I pentested a Wordpress site for a client the other day, a start up company in NZ. The results would shock you. I wish they'd come to me before going live. They asked me what they should do. My answer was blunt and unapologetic, "dump Wordpress, hand-code everything in php, html and css."

rokytnji:
If users bothered to md5sum check their downloaded isos against a good posted number.
Then they will know they have a bad iso.

Scott:
No need for panic but this is definitely newsworthy.  ~Scott
