 * Hey guys,
 * Is the actual file names “thumb.php” vulnerable? I am fully aware of the whole“
   timthumb.php” issue, but I just scanned my themes today and found that in one
   of them, it is using just “thumb.php” and wondering if it’s at risk.
 * If it is, how can I secure it with “timthumb.php”? (Especially since the filename
   does not match).

 * Yeah, love the thread guys, keep the ideas coming. Let’s stay strong and vigilant.
 * I think the lesson here is that no one is immune, but you can minimize damage.
 * Great points brought up by Jan, I was actually reading on those things last night.
   Unfortunately I was messing around with my htaccess file and permissions and 
   broken stuff, but hey that’s how you learn!
 * Just like I learned how crucial backups can be.
 * Btw, I’m having my VPS host look into the logs as we speak to see how the rewrites
   were injected, ill report my findings here.

 * Of course, it all comes down to clamping down the security of your WP installation.
   I was under the impression that WP comes pretty secure, but nope. I have to re-
   write htaccess, change permissions, etc… Not everybody knows how to do this, 
   so how about those other millions of blog out there? 😮
