WordFence keeps warning about domain 127.0.0.1
-
Since upgrading to Wordfence 6.3.4 I get domain change warnings during scans. The odd thing is that it is warning for domain ‘127.0.0.1’. Any ideas what’s causing this? I haven’t made any recent changes to my domain’s DNS, and I definitely don’t have anything in the DNS pointing to 127.0.0.1.
Here’s the full text of the warning:
Your DNS records have changed
Old DNS records: thatchrisblack.com points to 45.79.152.68
New DNS records:
Severity: Warning
Status New
We have detected a change in the A records of your DNS configuration that may affect the domain 127.0.0.1. An A record is a record in DNS that points a domain name to an IP address. A change in your DNS records may indicate that a hacker has hacked into your DNS administration system and has pointed your email or website to their own server for malicious purposes. It could also indicate that your domain has expired. If you made this change yourself you can mark it ‘resolved’ and safely ignore it.
