True, yet I’ve password-protected my blog with “WWW-Authenticate: Basic” so that no spammer could get in with any bots, and I’d tell anybody who emailed me to access my blog the password.

Anybody who wants to implement the hack, insert this in wp-blog-header.php:
$your_email="somebody at gmail dot com";
$blog_pwd="phpself1";
if(!ereg("/wp-admin/edit.php", $PHP_SELF)) {
if ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] != $blog_pwd) {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="For security reasons, this blog is password-protected. Please email '.$your_email.' to obtain password. Thank you."');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo '<HTML></HTML>';
exit;
}
}
