This is -- in part -- why I've given up trying to maintain my WordPress
vlogs.

Thanks for the info.
If you are getting rid of them via phpmyadmin then there is stuff in the
usermeta table that you should also be deleting, otherwise some future users
could find themselves with admin rights!

If you haven't heard yet, there is an attack happening on all versions
of Wordpress except the newest - 2.8.4. So you should upgrade your
installations. The thing that I noticed on ALL of my sites that were
not already running 2.8.4 was that they had hidden admin users on
them. The sneaky thing about that is that you may not have any other
symptoms besides these hidden accounts and then think you are safe
once you've upgraded. The are, essentially, back doors left on your
site to be exploited later. So you have to make sure to get rid of
them. The process is a little tricky at least it's not a typical
WordPress user operation so I've documented two ways to do it in this
screencast.
