    Hello,

    I noticed the plugin created a random named file “ziQRR0lu” under /wp-content and it’s over 2GB.

    Could you please let me know what this file is for?

    Hello, Stateless doesn’t create file unless it’s in your media library. Can you please check your media library?
    Some other plugin maybe created the file.
    Where did you find that file on local or in gStorage?

    Hello,

    Its on local.

    When I asked my hosting about this, they told me the following:

    It looks like someone from IP 172.68.189.120 might have been uploading things via the wordpress admin area near that time:

    root@host [~/support/870625]# awk ‘($4 ~ /02\/Mar\/2018:01:[23]/)&&($6 ~ /POST/)’ /usr/local/apache/domlogs/lovika5/*

    ………..

    it continues like this.

    Hello, hichloe
    Is the problem happen regularly? If so try to disable other plugins.
    I don’t see any reason to Stateless created that file.

    Please Confirm You don’t have that file in media library.
