Hi guys,
I don't know if anyone has experienced the same thing but if so I would appreciate any feedback you could offer. I currently use a free version of Wordfence, the wordpress security plugin. I received a couple of emails from them advising me that some of my files had been recently modified but I had not made any modifications to the files mentioned.
I changed the password to my website since then and have always kept my version of wordpress and plugins up to date and added capture before login but I received another email from them a couple of weeks later notifying me that some more files had been modified which I had not done. They also noted several attempts to log into my website with the user name, admin. I checked on my Google analytics and webmaster tools account and its not picking up any malware. Would someone have to log into my website to modify my files or is there another way that this can be done?
I find it worrying that someone would bother to take the time to try to log in or hack someone's website. I don't promote anything political or controversal. How do you guys secure your websites from such issues? I know there is Cloudflare which is quite expensive.
Thanking you
