Must Read for Every WordPress User

[V]

Hi guys,

So, today I noticed a strange thing. One of my website which I am trying to rank so hard has jumped to 25th position from 90+ position, and I was very happy. So, I was browsing my site to get a look at other posts and then I saw random links inserted in all my posts. Yeah, I thought my website was hacked. Then I remembered that it is quite impossible to hack my site, because I always harden the security after installing WP. Then I suddenly remembered of the latest WP vulnerability. Anyone can insert a link in your posts, ANYONE! So, I went on to edit all the posts containing the links, and then I updated my blog also to the latest WP version.
Everyone of you MUST update your WP to the latest version. Because they don't need your credentials to add links to your money sites. You can read the full post here:

Yes, because of the REST API that was introduced in this version of WordPress.

All of us should visit WP dashboard often for the updates. I do it once a week for all of my sites.

Exactly, but sometimes it's the new updates that fuck us like the previous WP update.

So that thing increased your ranking?

I don't understand ..

Thanks for the heads up. However, I think my websites automatically update to the newest version.

Also, how did it make your rankings better?
