• I use wordpress security on a few different websites that I maintain. Recently I received emails about site lockout notifications and also wordpress file change warnings.

    I have two questions.
    1. One of the site lockout notifications really concerned me because the username it locked out was actually my PASSWORD for the site. It isn’t something that is easy to figure out, so I am wondering how someone could have gotten that?

    2. Another item is the changes to file email I received. I didn’t make any changed but this is what it said:

    file added:
    wp-includes/SimplePie/XML/Declaration/gallery.php

    Another time:

    With the above info that I have given, can you tell me if my site is hacked (everything is fine on the front end) or some bad files planted? After I received those messages I upgraded the theme and the latest version of wordpress.

    Thank you so much

  • Hi,

    The majority of the changes seem like they could be legitimate. But there are some that are questionable. Could you share a copy of your current wp-content/plugins/better-wp-security/modules/free/hide-backend/class-itsec-hide-backend-admin.php file for me to look at?

    You can email it to me. Please include a link to this post so I’ll know what it’s in regards to.

    [email protected]

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Could you also share a URL to the site in the email?

    Thanks,

    Gerroald
