Most likely you updated the iTSec plugin to the latest release (7.5.0) while a File Change Detection scan was still running.
To prevent any confusion, I’m not iThemes.
Could be. What really worried me was a dirty host’s attempts on my site:

Fatal Error and this attack timing are the same.
Any matches in error_log or wp-admin/error_log?
I checked the error_log file from the Cpanel by converting it to txt format. Only have SSL notifications. The last notification on 4 November. No matches.
193.106.30.99 might have tried to execute a file change scan on your computer and got blocked.
What’s the IP address of your site? If it’s 193.106.30.99, you can whitelist it in the plugin settings.
Thanks for your interest and help.
No, that IP address isn’t mine. That’s IP of the person who attacked my website. Everyone should ban this IP. It’s a very dirty host. (https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/193.106.30.99)
I understand from your answer that the danger is gone. Then there’s nothing to worry about?
To me, it looks like the plugin has done the right thing, but wonder about the URLs in both you messages. Did you just copy and paste them, or did you replace anything to hide your site address?
Have you clicked any of the “View Details” links to see more information about the 404s?
It’s weird to get a “file change” scan report for a 404. Have you looked for files with names similar to wp.php, wp-aa.php, etc?
I just only hide my domain address. (example.com) I haven’t changed anything else. And I didn’t name my files like aa, bb.
