Only way to protect yourself is to get WP Secured (see url) as it takes you step by step on what to do to change the functionality of your blog so the hackers can NOT hack your blog. WordPress.org will not do this for you, you must take action now and save yourself alot of trouble in the future..

I'm re-installing a current version of WP and then reloading a copy of my database and tweaking it on an air gapped local box. Then it will go back up and I'll petition Google for a clean review. God help the hacker if I ever found him/her.... In the process of getting back up from a hack that inserted the code..

A monthly schedule might leave your blog vulnerable for as much as 30 days if you happen to miss a fix by just one day. That's an eternity for hacker to target your site.
