    Normally, you shouldn’t receive a lot of alerts.
    What files are modified ? Are those files changed by a caching or logging application, for instance? Are they located in a specific folders or are they part of WordPress core ?

    Thank you for your answer.
    Actually some days I receive a lot of those kind of alerts, which don’t mean anything to me.

    Someone accessed a script that was modified or created less than 72 hour(s) ago:
    SERVER_NAME: mywebsite.fr USER IP: 91.xxx.xxx.xx SCRIPT_FILENAME: /home/arxxXXXX/mywebsite.fr/wp-admin/plugins.php REQUEST_URI: /wp-admin/plugins.php Last changed on: March 18, 2024 @ 17:04:26 CET

    Probably a bot accessing those files. Did you update WordPress lately? This is a core file, and should only be modified during an update.

    Thank you for the answer.
    I didn’t make any update for a long time, so I don’t understand those kind of messages.

    Maybe you’ve been hacked because your site is outdated?
    1. Make sure WordPress is up to date, or update it.
    2. Apply all plugin updates available, and remove all unused/disabled plugins.
    3. Apply all theme updates available, and remove all unused/disabled themes.
    4. Install and run NinjaScanner to make sure everything is fine: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/ninjascanner/
