It is CRITICAL that all users of any 1.* version delete your inc/CONTROL/imports/import-mt.php file!!!

Please see this security alert news item for full details, but basically an exploit has been discovered that allows pirates to hack your blog via the import-mt.php file. You do not need this file if you do not import from movable type, and you do not need it after you're done importing, so delete it and look forward to the (upcoming) release. Post concerns (as a comment) over there as this thread is written by a forum junkie who's response to security problems is to scream OMG! several times while finally backing up everything and deleting whatever Francois says to delete, then worrying about my poor little blog and wondering what all the technobabble stuff means.
