Has my Word Press blog been Hacked ?

While trying to troublshoot why Outlook could not consume the feed of my blog post I desided to do a Wirshark trace while checking my feeds. I then selected the follow tcp stream from the otpions and when viewing the header info this jumped out at me. X-hacker: If you're reading this, you should visit automattic.com/jobs and apply to join the fun, mention this header. What is this ?

But is it bad ? I just want to understand what it is and why it is there. Possibly a site subscribed to the feed ? It also had a pingback and when viewed the contents of the php file it was possibly a base64 hex string. Not sure what it is though.

It's a joke from WordPress. Or maybe they're serious. Who knows. But WordPress puts it there, it's perfectly normal.

here is a respone i got from them When I asked. Nope. Nothing to worry about there. That's just a little message we hide. We figure that if someone is poking around that deeply in the feed, they might be the kind of person who would be interested in applying for a job at Automattic.
