 * Hi! I am using iTheme’s Security and have the setting for htaccess and wp-config.
   php file to not be writable. I just received an email warning that says my htaccess
   file was modified. The Security Log Data screen says changed .htaccess, h= and
   d=. Is this something i should be worried about? Any insight would be helpful.
   Thank you in advance.

 * I also get this notice and wonder if it’s something to be concerned about or 
   not.

 * I haven’t heard from anyone and still haven’t found an answer. I guess I just
   hope and pray that this security plugin is doing its thing appropriately!
