Got a couple blogs running on WP 2.0.2, never updated them didnt do much about them. Theyve been hacked and now i get post spam: new posts created with spam in them. They are posted under my user account 'admin' so i am looking in the db and i see another user account too named 'WordPress'. Ive checked some other WP db's and some also have the 'WordPress' user and some don't. I think i never seen this user account (they are also not visible in the WP admin panel) but then again i never look at the db. So is this normal to be here? Im looking at what i have to delete. It looks like this user only appears in my old WP 2.0.2 blogs.
