The version I had was an upgrade to another version that was vulnerable. I didn't know I had to upgrade all the time ... if it wasn't for my google ads I wouldn't have noticed somebody inserted invisible links to the footer of my site :-( There's an automatic upgrade plugin, but it requires you give your username and password to your ftp (not even sftp) to a 3rd party, which seems like a really bad idea. The thing is, there are no good alternatives. I'd be glad to see if anybody has found anything comparable feature wise.

Blojsom in particular may suit your needs. The Java based alternatives I know of are Roller and Blojsom, neither of which are fantastic, but may be worth checking out.

Heck, you might be able to just restore the categorization from backups. But truthfully I don't know if any of this is possible since I've never used WordPress. Good luck.
