Just got this on an older blog that I have been ignoring but thought it was important to add the update here.

Blogs are being compromised via this vulnerability on widespread scale.
The most common symptom of a compromised blog is the presence of links
to spam web sites inserted in the blog that are obscured by style
attributes that render the text invisible but are still seen by crawlers
such as Technorati’s, Google’s and Yahoo’s. You can find these links
by viewing the source of the blog pages or, when using Firefox,
looking under “Tools” -> “Page Info” -> “Links”

The impact of these spam links that may be unwittingly placed on your
blog are reduced rankings or being flagged as spam. We’re
discontinuing processing updates from blogs that exhibit symptoms
of being compromised. If your blog has been upgraded already and this
message no longer applies to you, please accept my apologies.

Just a quick FYI for you and I am liking the 2.5 upgrade so far.
