Podcasting on WordPress.com
While many podcasters are using self-hosted WordPress.org sites, some attendees did not know that WordPress.com also supports podcasting.
Did you know: according to Todd Cochrane from Blubrry, creators of the PowerPress podcasting plugin for self-hosted WordPress sites, there are over 200,000 active podcasts in iTunes. Since Blubrry powers over 60 thousand of them, at least 30% of all currently active podcasts are running WordPress!
WordPress.com makes it very easy to get started with podcasting. All you need to do is create a new post category, change a few settings in your dashboard, and submit your podcast to iTunes and other catalogs. Just follow these steps to launch your podcast (if you don’t have a WordPress.com site yet, get one here).
Some of the advantages of podcasting with WordPress.com:
Simplicity: Both your website and your media are hosted in the same place, making it easier to manage your content.
Security: Your podcast and site will be protected by WordPress.com against attacks and spam.
Backups: All content published on WordPress.com is protected and backed up so you don’t have to think about it.
Maintenance-Free: Your WordPress.com site is always running the latest version of WordPress, and you will never have to worry about updates.
We continue to work on tools for podcasters here at WordPress.com, and would love your input on how we can make them better.

WPML is a popular WordPress plugin used for creating multi-lingual websites, and researchers have uncovered four critical vulnerabilities, the most serious being a SQL injection flaw that can allow unauthenticated access to the website’s database, exposing user details and password hashes.

Thousands of websites are at risk of being exploited by a previously undisclosed vulnerability in a WordPress plugin, which researchers say could be used to inject malicious code into websites.
The flaw exists in Fancybox, a popular image displaying tool, through which Sucuri researchers say malware or any other script can be added to a vulnerable site.
"We can confirm that this plugin has a serious vulnerability," the researchers wrote. "It's being actively exploited in the wild, leading to many compromised websites," the researchers wrote.
A glut of Wordpress sites have fallen victim to both malware infections and a series of brute force attacks that have making the rounds over the past several

We're excited to announce new tools that help make WordPress even more accessible to people around the globe.
Roughly half of the content and traffic on the internet is in English1, yet English is the mother tongue of only about a quarter of internet users2, and less than 5% of the world’s population.3 We believe that WordPress.com should be for everyone, not just English speakers — it’s why we already serve WordPress in 131 languages — but we want to make it even more accessible.4 To keep so many languages up to date we need to make it radically easier for non-English speaking communities to help with translation. We’re proud to announce our latest step in that direction: the Community Translator.

Vulnerable websites can be exploited via XSS to steal user accounts, change settings or phish passwords from unsuspecting users. In fact, XSS flaws are one of the most commonly encountered security flaws found on websites.
Patching is obviously sensible and should be undertaken at the earliest opportunity, but never forget that additional layers of protection can go beyond patches – and perhaps be proactive in defending your systems from abuse during the time when no official fixes are available.

Another popular Yoast Wordpress plugin has been found sporting a critical vulnerability that can be exploited by attackers to take over control of the site.
A week ago it was the WordPress SEO plugin, which is actively used on more than a million of WP sites. This time it's the company's Google Analytics plugin, which has apparently been downloaded around 7 million times.
According to the researcher who discovered the issue, Jouko Pynnönen of Finland-based Klikki Oy, the vulnerability "allows an unauthenticated attacker to store arbitrary HTML, including JavaScript, in the WordPress administrator’s Dashboard on the target system. The JavaScript will be triggered when an administrator views the plug-in’s settings panel. No further user interaction is required."

A critical security flaw in a plugin called WP-Slimstat is to blame.
Over one million websites running the WordPress content management system are potentially at risk of being hijacked due to a critical vulnerability exposed in the WP-Slimstat plugin. On Tuesday, a security advisory posted by researcher Marc-Alexandre Montpas from security firm Sucuri said the "very high risk" vulnerability found in versions of WP-Slimstat 3.9.5 and lower could lead to cyberattackers being able to break the plugin's "secret" key, perform an SQL injection and take over a target website.
