Just moments ago, WordPress 3.0.2 was released to the public. This version is a mandatory security upgrade. According to the release notes:

This maintenance release fixes a moderate security issue that could allow a malicious Author-level user to gain further access to the site, addresses a handful of bugs, and provides some additional security enhancements.
​

It?s been awhile since we?ve seen one of these types of releases. However, thanks to automatic upgrades built in, upgrading is a pretty easy thing to do.

Sounds like this is the update I need to prevent all the hackings I've endured lately. Updating now!
