Urgent Security Update to Wordpress
Yes it keeps us busy even during the festive season.

I did a brief presentation on Secure Web Programming a few moons ago. It was primarily intended to be a high-level overview to familiarize programmers with web application security issues. You can download it if you’re interested.
