    My activity summary email from Wordfence included this under recently modified files:
    wp-includes/js/tinymce/skins/wordpress/images/ip.dat

    What is a data file doing in an images folder?

    I looked at the contents of the file and it appeared to be a lot of gibberish. It does not appear to be reasonable code. I deleted it.

    My question is, is the ip.dat file legitimate? (My site was hacked a few months ago and I’m cautious.)

    Thanks for any insight on this.

  • It sounds like it is a file storing IP information for the images? I looked up “tinymce/skins/wordpress/images/ip.dat” and it pulls up a lot of errors in google. You may want to check with tinymce and see if that file is needed.
