    Hi,

    I am using wordfence on my WordPress website. Recently my site got hacked and now I removed the hacked files by scanning the website using this plugin. However, now my another plugin’s (Amazon-web-services) file got renamed to .php.suspectedevery time. I rename it back to .php and after some hours it again renamed back to .suspected. And this causes the site to go down. When I searched online, it showed this happens due to the security plugin and I have only one which is this plugin on my website.

    Please help to find out what is happening?

    Hi @anjananath,

    I can confirm that this modification is not performed by Wordfence.

    I suggest you check with your hosting provider if this could be caused by some automated process on the server.

    Also please look into our site cleaning guide in order to perform a thorough verification of your site’s integrity.
