    Our site was hacked, and I’ve been going through and cleaning it as much as possible.

    When we run Wordfence Scans, it gives us the following.

    ———————————————————————————–
    File appears to be malicious: wp-includes/task-item.php
    Filename: wp-includes/task-item.php
    File Type: Not a core, theme or plugin file.
    Issue First Detected: 5 mins ago.
    Severity: Critical
    Status New
    This file appears to be installed by a hacker to perform malicious activity. If you know about this file you can choose to ignore it to exclude it from future scans. The text we found in this file that matches a known malicious file is: “eikooctesOSW+noitcnuf”. The infection type is: Webshell:PHP/WSO-strrev.

    I can’t find anything about this file, or this hack.

    When I delete the file, it gets recreated.

    This also occurs for wp-admin/css/.bt which seems to be suspicious but when deleted it gets re-created again.

    Has anybody come across this?
