    Dear Wordfence,

    It is my pleasure to write a letter of asking support for the Wordfence. While I was scanning my website, I surprisingly found its being detected by the remote scanner and my concern is whether it could be hidden or not like bullet proof security (I am using both at a time).

    In conclusion, I fully understand that it might not be a great issue and a screenshot enclosed for your reference.

    Hi Malayak,

    Thanks for the report. There are many ways that a determined attacker can find out which plugins a site is using, including testing for scripts and styles or error messages that must be public (such as the message a visitor sees when getting locked out), so hiding a plugin usually is not especially helpful.

    If you’re interested in more ways to protect your site though, we have an article about that here:
