 * I’m trying to find out if a file that’s being written to the root of my WP installs(
   and other folders) called “.backup_time” and containing base64 code, is part 
   of this plugin’s normal function. I have a strong suspicion that it is not the
   case, but need confirmation. Thank you.

 * i think this is a porn mobile hack…not good and I think it’s hard to spot via
   ftp.

 * Indeed this file is evidence that your WP website is hacked. It has NOTHING to
   do with the iTSec plugin.
 * If the above info answers your question please mark this topic as ‘resolved’.
