 * I’m working on a website and we’ve had problems with people somehow creating 
   admin accounts and making spam posts.
 * Because of that, I spent time looking around at different scans to see if they
   did any damage to the site, or if they just made a couple spam posts.
 * I installed this and got more than 400+ Severe level results.
 * I am using BulletProof Security on the site.
    Google WebMaster Tools shows NO
   malware on the site. Sucuri shows the site is clean too.
 * I was using the older version of WP to get the 400 results. I updated to the 
   new WP to see what happened and the errors jumped to 800+ (but I realize this
   is due to the hashtag issue.
 * Is it possible to get 400 severe results that are just showing because the tool
   is too sensitive?
    Could BulletProof Security be causing the large number?
 * One caveat is that these results appear to combine multiple websites. I’m using
   GoDaddy for hosting so I’m getting results for the same plugin on several different
   sites.
 * Any advice or recommendations on where to go from here?
    Thanks

 * Does anyone out there have any thoughts on this? Is it something you would be
   really concerned about or not so much?
    Thanks

 * The problem is most likely that the hash file is not up to date. Please see [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/work-with-wp-352?replies=8](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/work-with-wp-352?replies=8).
