Subject: [Nfb-web] Update Your Software

Hello,

I have added some people to the hidden webmasters list.  My records are
mostly up to date.  I will repeat part of what I said yesterday, for new
folks.

One of our sites was hacked, we think in part because Drupal was not at the
latest version and was hacked.  Consequently we need to take care of some
business!


Yesterday I wrote you about the need to keep software updated.  As an
example, we updated PHP and Easy Apache this morning on the server.  Jason
has scanned  the server to see what software you have, and what version.
Below is that information.  Please bring everything up to the latest
version, and delete the stuff you don't need.


Hi,
I took a look at the versions of Drupal running on the system. The latest
version is 7.38.
Here is a list of the sites, and what version they have installed. We should
hound anyone with outdated versions.

blindeducators: 7.38
nabskid: 7.37 in main directory, but they have a backup directory that has
7.12 that may still be accessible from the net.
nagdu: 7.38
nfbmd: 7.34 (this needs to be updated now!)
nfbmo: 7.37
nfbsc: 7.14
nfbtrain: 7.14
nfbweb: 7.28 (this is in a sandbox directory, so not sure if this is active)
nfbwy: 7.34
Stevebrand: 7.34


And here is Wordpress info:


Hi,
I'm seeing a similar issue with Wordpress. We have a few sites running it
and they are not all up to date. Wordpress only releases security updates
for the current version, which is currently 4.2.
Additionally, nfb of ohio seems to have a site that isn't running a CMS, but
they have what looks like an old version of Joomla in their public_html
folder. They should get rid of that if they aren't using it. If they are
using it, it should be updated
