This post wouldn’t have been half as funny if it didn’t have a easy-to-click link, right there. Nice security means.

How is this an downside to open source? It requires the victim to download a compromised build from a fake site, one which is much more difficult to type than the original – had it been on wordrpess.org or wodrpress.org, it may have been more damaging.

On another note, how difficult is it to type out the word ‘are’? Using ‘r’ and ‘u’ as words makes it that much easier to dismiss your comments as nonsense.
