'Site Database Backup' email?

    Thanks for this plugin, works perfectly with Contact Form 7, configured with google.

    I’m a bit confused by an email an admin user received from my email address with an attached zip file-
    Subject: Site Database Backup Monday, September 14th, 2015 at 6:24 pm
    “Attached is the backup file for the database powering https://auspicious.com.au taken Monday, September 14th, 2015 at 6:24 pm”

    Is this spam/something malignant I should be worried about? If so do I need to take action?

    Apologies if this isn’t the right place to ask about this!
    Many thanks,
    Julia

    That’s not my plugin.

    iThemes Security (formerly Better WP Security)

    Themes Security makes regular backups of your WordPress database, allowing you to get back online quickly in the event of an attack. Use iThemes Security to create and email database backups on a customizable schedule.

    For complete site backups and the ability to restore or move WordPress easily, check out BackupBuddy by iThemes.

    Thank you!
    Sorry I didn’t realise that plugin did that as I never received the emails before..
    Anyway thank for your time!

    I’m receiving similar “phantom” emails with the same verbiage, with increasingly more each day, for one site.I did not turn on backups in iThemes and can’t find how to stop them. Did you solve this? Is it spam?
