 * I’m using version 1.2, and I think someone has been hacking my site. Folders 
   in my public folder have disappeared on several occasions, and I’ve had the index.
   php replaced with stupid little sayings, etc. Any one else ever had this problem?
   Does version 1.2 have security problems that let ppl access the ftp?

    That sounds like a vulnerability elsewhere on the server, with the
   wp index being targeted because it’s visible. I would ask more questions at your
   host about their security. 1.2 may be old by now but as far as I know it’s secure(
   1.2.2 that is) I have a couple of blogs still running it.
