Threat or Virus?

    So, I installed this plugin and generated 4 posts and 2 days later my site was hacked and my admin user password was changed.

    I scanned it with the Anti-Malware plugin and 2 files were found

    Found 2 Known Threats
    /public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-dummy-content-generator/Faker-main/vendor/symfony/phpunit-bridge/bin/simple-phpunit.php

    /public_html/wp-admin/new1.php

    Is this something to be worried about?

    Hi @wyohost

    Please check the files and folder permissions of your wordpress setup. Seems like you have given open permissions to write as there is new1.php file created inside wp-admin

    The other file you mentioned is our plugin file which is just a unit test file for the plugin and you don’t need to worry about that file.

    Thanks!!!

    As there is no reply so it seems like the issue has been resolved. I am marking this as resolved.
