*From the slashdot article: http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/07/09/25/1632246.shtml Update: 09/25 17:52 GMT* by * KD <http://slashdot.org/%7Ekdawson/> *: This article is misleading enough to be called "just wrong." Matt Mullenweg writes: *"As mentioned in our release announcement<http://wordpress.org/development/2007/09/wordpress-23/>, the update notification sends your blog URL, plugins, and version info when it checks api.wordpress.org for new and compatible updates. It does not include $_SERVER dumps, or any settings beyond version numbers (for checking compatibility), or your blog name, or your credit card number. We do provide a way of disabling this feature; in fact I link to one of the plugins in the release announcement and in my original response<http://groups.google.com/group/wp-hackers/msg/e7794372692b9548>to Morty's thread." *
