    A few months back, a hacker was trying to hack my website(http://Nilapatri-Group.com).
    I don’t have much information about the hacker, but I have some of his IPs and
    it also shoved that he is from Ukraine.


    91.200.12.60
    37.57.25.225
    46.119.58.190
    91.210.146.174
    54.200.168.99
    104.200.154.27
    54.234.138.240
    52.40.216.165
    91.200.12.33
    62.210.88.186
    52.91.61.189
    31.184.234.145
    91.210.145.59

    Luckily, I blocked all of the IPs, and there were no problems,
    until I got an e-mail from Wordfence about suspicious activity found:

    * Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/clean-login/clean-login.php

    * Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/clean-login/readme.txt

    * Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/login-page-styler/loginPageStyler.php

    * Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/login-page-styler/loginPageStylerOption.php

    * Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/login-page-styler/lpsFiltersAndActions.php

    * Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/login-page-styler/readme.txt

    * Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/ml-slider/readme.txt

    * Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/payhip-sell-ebooks/README.txt

    Fortunately, I had created a backup copy of my website before the suspicious activity was found.
    So, I just wanted to know whether I should restore my site from the backup. Thanks in advance!

    the .txt file chanes change be ignored.

    On the Wordfence control panel area, have it show the differences in the PHP file. Sometimes these are benign — the authors update some php without updating a the version number.

    I checked the Wordfence control panel and found some code missing in the PHP Files. I restored them and everything was fine. Thanks a lot for the help!
