 * Hi I need to check if this plugin uses a javascript asset lv_js.js, as this is
   only loaded on my WordPress site when this plugin is loaded. Wordfence scan reports:
 * Details: This file appears to be installed or modified by a hacker to perform
   malicious activity. If you know about this file you can choose to ignore it to
   exclude it from future scans. The matched text in this file is: _0x711c=[“\x23
 * The issue type is: Suspicious:JS/hexifyallthethings.5556
    Description: Javascript
   code indicative of malware
 * I would be grateful if you could confirm/deny this.

 * Hi vincentejc,
 * Speaking for Wordfence, it looks like that particular result was likely a false
   positive. Usually Wordfence adds plugins in the WordPress.org repository to our
   list of allowed files, but on occasion a new version of a plugin will contain
   an updated file that matches one of our malware detection signatures before we
   have a chance to add it to our allowed list. During this time the malware scan
   may detect the updated file even though it is a false positive. At this time 
   you should no longer see this scan result.
