wordpress core file modified – wordfence alert

  • I received (3) alerts regarding wordpress core file being modified — and all are in the wp-includes folder, and related to the following – Partial string shown:

    js/jquery/jquery.ui.touch-punch.js
    js/jquery/jquery.schedule.js
    js/jquery/jquery-migrate.js

    I am not a developer, so not exactly sure how critical, what that means and what to do.

    I did compare what was new and two of the 3 have distinctly different looking “files” on the right hand side.

    I see my choice is to ignore, or restore original file, or if I knew what I was doing, perhaps “fix” this in some way.

    I also got an alert on a DNS change at the same time initially, but that seems to have been resolved as it no longer visible… and this morning got a “couldn’t connect to db” message, but now the site is up and I can log in once again.

    What should I do?
    site is here: https://bondelderlaw.com

    Here are links to the screenshots I collected:

    Hope you can help!
