Root got 404′ed again

I'm not sure what the hell happened but somehow Root's blog got trashed by someone running install.php. It appears to have been a case of curiosity rather than malicious intent but I'm astonished that it happened in the first place. As a precaution, I'd remove the install.php file from the wp-admin directory (which should be fine as it has no function after installation).

There is more on the matter in the WP support forum.
