WordPress is very secure, but just like any piece of software, there are holes. The WordPress community fixes these holes when they are found. BUT, if your WordPress install isn't up-to-date, the known holes can be used to hack into your website.
If you're running an older version of WordPress, you'll be notified when you log in that you should upgrade, and you're given an easy way to upgrade with one-click.
But what if you don't log into your WordPress Dashboard often? I've set up a simple notification tool that will let you know when a new release has been posted, either by Email or RSS.
Just click the link below to be notified when a new post has been made to the "Releases" category of the WordPress Development blog.

WordPress Updates as Email or RSS Reminder
WordPress does a great job of telling you to upgrade when you log in. But if you don't log in often, you might miss an important security update. This will notify you via email or RSS.
