    I logged into my with https://ghcs.co/ tonight and saw this error:

    The plugin wordfence/wordfence.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.

    I selected Wordfence Security and then selected Updated and the checkmark disappeared. I read another post with the same issue by @boberdoo then deleted Wordfence Security, was prompted to remove all files and clicked ok. Unlike @boberdoo however I was able to find and re-install from the plugin search within my WordPress website.

    I have reinstalled and checked live traffic which already blocked a bot from Jakarta, Indonesia to a plugin I had updated just tonight – it was the only plugin I had that was not up-to-date when I noticed Wordfence was deactivated. Then I notice a human visitor from the same IP … here’s a partial screenshot from Wordfence Live Traffic: https://ghcs.co/00/hactivity-2018-03-13.png The same IP address also seems to be the source of a malicious upload attempt blocked by Wordfence: https://ghcs.co/00/malicious-upload-2018-03-13.png

    On the human visit you can see the visitor came from https://kingdomlv.com/k-rev/wp-content/uploads/2018/do.php which contains a link to my website and username from an online account (personal contact and I can add details). That link also have some “interesting” meta info in View > Source and this info on the footer of their web page:

    Total wpbackup Found = 1966
    ? ./D3p | 3xtr3me Cr3w

    Is it possible my Wordfence trouble and this visit from Jakarta, Indonesia are related? I am concerned that my site has been penetrated If I can add any info please let me know.

    Thanks,
    George Conklin
