theregister.co.uk reported today on their website that a blog promoting Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth has hacked by penis pill-promoting spammers. According to the site all their links from the blog portion of the site has been compromised to promote drugs. The method used for this hack is still unknown, but it has been reported that they were using an unpatched version of wordpress.

However as of this writing the site seem to have gone back to normal.

Obviously, Mr. Gore did not spend enough time checking the security settings of his Wordpress blog. Not surprising since he didn’t spend enough time checking the facts for his movie.

Hi Sean O, I doubt Mr. Gore updates his own blog software and maintains it personally. Regardless of whatever opinion we have about him.
