In all honesty, I'm not particularly sure most of the script kiddie type hackers attacking Wordpress and Drupal have the skillset to figure this out. They're picking off low hanging fruit IMO. This doesn't ring true for all of them, i.e. those expanding a global botnet, but most of them are skilled in the art of running a script and uploading files to a web directory with basic `chown` and `chmod` perms.
