An Important Security Announcement For WordPress Users:
Posted by Chris -'- Ahosting Support Team on 07 January 2013 03:51 PM
This is to inform that a serious security hole has been found in wordpress plugin 'w3total cache'. Since directory listings were enabled on the cache directory, anyone could easily download all the database cache keys (wp-content/plugins/w3tc/dbcache), and extract details containing sensitive information, such as password hashes. Inorder to overcome this security issue you have to go to the wp-content directory of every WordPress install where this plugin is installed, and create a file named .htaccess inside the 'w3tc' directory with contents as below.

Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all


This will prevent outside access to the directory containing sensitive information. Also please be sure to update all WordPress installs and plugins to the latest version.
