 * Yes, I’m getting that on several sites also. And this person posted about it 
   under Wordfence support: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/false-positive-base-php-on-backwpup](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/false-positive-base-php-on-backwpup)
 * Would appreciate confirmation from BackWPup author that this is a false positive.
   And maybe they could touch base with the Wordfence people to let them know also.

   Don’t worry, Phpseclib is used for encryption backup feature and we can make 
   sure that this is a false result because we use this library directly from [http://phpseclib.sourceforge.net/](http://phpseclib.sourceforge.net/).
   Anyway, we are going to inform WordFence and others security plugin about it.
   Thank you anyway for reporting it 🙂 Going to close the issue now, if you have
   any question, please let me know!
