 * HI all,
 * Just want some advice, I have a security feature on a WordPress site that I have
   developed, it reported this morning of file changes of strange significance, 
   has anyone seen something like this before?
 * visa.us.65rth46e5rg3w1erf65gwer4g5r4g6
    paypal.com.update.65rth46e5rg3w1erf65
 * There were at least over 100 instances of these types of file changes. My site
   does not run any type of payment method. I have taken all the security measures
   as regarding hiding the backend, deleting admin account etc…
 * Is this a hack or what has happened?
 * The only plugin active is Contact form 7 if that might be of some help.
