The fine folks that brought you BlogPress SEO are offering subscriptions for their product, or something along those lines. They are charging $97.00 a month for a single site subscription, and $597.00 a month for a 100 domain subscription. So now they are charging you and installing a backdoor in your site. But wait, there’s more. Who ever updated the page neglected to remove the download link or API key generator.
Just a quick set of pictures I took at WordCamp MSP, there were far fewer than I had intended to take. That probably had something to do with my camera being in my backpack rather than in my pocket or hand. Looking forward to WordCamp MSP 2011, and I promise I will take more pictures next year.

For those of you look for slides and notes from my presentations at WordCamp MSP 2010, you’ve come to the right place. Below I have my slides from my first presentation of the day, “How to: Reporting Issues”. You should also be able to download the .pptx file off of slideshare, if you so choose.

While I was catching some much needed rest after WordCamp MSP, Joost de Valk did something cleaver. He setup a BlogPress SEO plugin on WordPress.org. The initial release consists of just a readme.txt and a php file with only the plugin comment header, no actual code. Since he set this release as 2.0, all users of the malicious 1.1 and 1.2 versions will receive “Plugin update is available” notices.
Check in for WordCamp MSP 2010 starts in 8.5 hours. See you there.
FYI: My presentation begins at 9:30AM CST, and slides will be up sometime midday tomorrow. There also may be a Security focused breakout session hosted by the MSP WordPress User Group.
