 * Hi! I just received my first “database changed” alert from NinjaFirewall:
 *     ```
       NinjaFirewall has detected that one or more administrator accounts were modified in the database:
   
       Blog: http://www.{my  site}.com/
       User IP: {IP address}
       Date: August 8, 2018 @ 18:32:20 (UTC +0000)
   
       Total administrators : {n}
   
       Admin ID : 1
       -user_login : {log ID}
       -user_nicename : {nicename}
       -user_email : {email address)
       -user_registered : 2016-12-24 22:14:24
       -display_name : {display name}
   
       {another entry was here}
   
       If you cannot see any modifications in the above fields, it is likely that the administrator password was changed.
       ```
   
 * I did a search and found this thread:
 * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ninjafirewall-alert-database-changes-detected/?replies=17](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ninjafirewall-alert-database-changes-detected/?replies=17)
 * however, that was posted three years ago. I imagine any bugs found then would
   have been fixed by now. I’m running NinjaFirewall 3.6.8.
 * After receiving the alert message, I *was* able to successfully login to the 
   WordPress Dashboard, using one of my admin accounts. I’ll try another one shortly.
   The IP address contained in the alert is for a computer in Russia, which is not
   where I’m located.
 * Is this something I should be concerned about? How can I find out what the actual
   database change was?
 * Thanks!

 * What about the other account?
 * NinjaFirewall takes all admin accounts data, makes a hash and saves it. Then,
   later on, it does it again and compares both hashes. If they don’t match, it 
   warns you.
