i see some hack attempts on our sites. Slimstat registers them in “new resources’ and the urls look like.

Although we have unsuccessfully been attacked many times before, this is the first time I detect textpattern paths been used. Should we worry?

They are trying to exploit an old security hole that was patched long ago. As long as you’re running the latest stable version, you should be fine.
