Hi

Bit late now probably but if you're a Drupal user you need to read this

http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-29846539?ocid=socialflow_twitter

I'm surprised that this hasn't been more widely reported. This is the first
I'd heard of this (though I run no Drupal sites and thus not signed up to
any security advisories lists)

Should sites have an auto update function or is this as dangerous if not
properly managed and understood of the risks of applying patches without
testing first ?
