Okay, this actually has nothing to do with lost in space but I couldn't think of a better title. Apparently one WP's remote servers was hacked. The only affected files thus far were the downloads for the latest version of wordpress, version 2.1.1. If you have downloaded this version it is most likely not stable and you should head over to the WP site immediately and download the new version 2.1.2 ASAP. Some of the files contained in the 2.1.1 version were modified and removed which left many security issues in the script. Two files were modified and code was inserted that would allow for remote execution of php.
