A suggestion

  I think we should somehow sticky the whole wordpress under attack thing to keep it at the front of the support forums so we don’t keep having to ask and answer the same question.

  This is just a suggestion, because of the fact that so many threads of the same topic saying “WordPress.com is under attack” have been showing up here with different articles about it.

  Are you clear on the fact that it’s WordPress.ORG installs under attack ie. not free hosted WordPress.COM blogs like the one linked to your username? That’s why there’s no need for a sticky.
  Please read : WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  This is an excellent time to be sure you follow all WordPress.COM security protocols.

  Yup, that’s why I suggested that we sticky something to alert people to the fact that the .org and .com are different.
