 * Our host had our site disabled yesterday, due to this file:
 * {HEX}base64.inject.unclassed.6 : ///wp-
    content/plugins/wpematico/app/settings_page.
   php
 * Can you please help us resolve this issue and update our host provider, as they
   took a beating over it, and not sure if it is a false positive or not…?

 * Your site may have been hacked. On the current download for that plugin I don’t
   see that reference in `plugins/wpematico/app/settings_page.php`.
 * There is a `<?php echo base64_decode($cfg['mailpass']);?>` on line 56 of that
   file but that should not cause your site to be disabled.

 * I would suggest anyone running WordPress to set wp-config.php permissions at (
   600) Read and Write for the Owner only.
 * If you allow anyone to read your config file they can get your database name 
   and password, and hack the crap out of your site!
 * FWIW, I have 34 WPeMatico campaigns running with no nasty grams from my web host.
   Though the CPU usage when running a campaign is really intensive.
