 * My site has acquired Malware and Wordfence isn’t picking them up on the scans
   so I have to manually remove them. In addition when I run the scan I get weird
   server errors see below:
 * [Sep 03 05:12:50] Scan terminated with error: There was an error connecting to
   the Wordfence scanning servers: cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: format
   error in certificate’s notBefore field
    [Sep 03 05:53:39] Call to Wordfence API
   to resolve IPs failed: There was an error connecting to the Wordfence scanning
   servers: cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: format error in certificate’s
   notBefore field [Sep 03 05:54:21] Call to Wordfence API to resolve IPs failed:
   There was an error connecting to the Wordfence scanning servers: cURL error 60:
   SSL certificate problem: format error in certificate’s notBefore field
 * The malware is showing up as javascript injected in WordPress posts. In addition
   as you see from the above it’s doing something weird with the date, the scan 
   above was run on 6/2. I have WordPress premium but premium support has been very
   slow to respond and seems unable to or unwilling to help resolve the matter. 
   Any help is appreciated thanks!

 * Hey [@seantgreen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seantgreen/),
 * My apologies for the slow response, we’ve recently seen a large influx in support
   requests. Can you please start a new ticket, and inform me of the ticket number
   here and we’ll take a closer look?
 * With that said, there was a temporary network issue that’s now resolved. Are 
   you still experiencing this?
 * Thanks,
 * Gerroald
