Has my site been hacked!

    I have 3 WordPress sites and one (the smallest of only 7 pages) has tables in the database which I do not understand. My other 2 does not have this and I have no forum or anything from woo ever installed. This is is only 2 months old:

    Perhaps I have severe paranoia but does the below look odd:

    _bwps_lockouts
    _bwps_log
    _forum_forums
    _forum_groups
    _forum_posts
    _forum_threads
    _forum_usergroup2user
    _forum_usergroups
    _redirection_groups
    _redirection_items
    _redirection_logs
    _redirection_modules
    _sharebar
    _woo_custom_nav_menus
    _woo_custom_nav_records

    They look like tables used (or left behind) by plugins,

    It looks like you may have installed a plugin(s) previously and deleting the plugin didn’t delete the tables. They look plugin-relatied.

    eg, bwps_lockouts is for a security plugin

    I have Better WP Security Is it safe and how do I remove them? Or is it ok to leave them where they are?

    I have no idea re: forum and woo menu! I have never installed any type of forum and this is a new site with only a Yootheme template and widget kit!

    I’d just leave them alone. They are not causing your site any harm.

    The reason I checked was my site got very slow but everything is fine now. Still wondering where they came from especially the woo menus!
