    Hello,

    I saw your thread about .backup_time
    There seems to be a lot of ite that have this same issue.

    Can you tell me if it is malicious?

    Here is the file content:

    Those five strings are encoded using “Base64” and a secret key that you did not provide so I can not say for sure if it is malicious or not. If you search on Internet something like “WordPress .backup_time” [1] you will find some websites explaining the purpose of that file and at first sight it seems to be malware but I can not confirm that at the moment.

    You published a duplicate ticket with the same question here [2] and someone else answered your question with more information. I will mark this ticket as resolved, if you have more question let me know.
