 * Hello,
 * I have 2 wordpress sites and they are hosted on godaddy. From some time I am 
   getting an issue that My wp-admin/index.php file changed daily by someone I don’t
   know who did it and in that file the previous content is replaced with some other
   content. And because of this Always I get internal server error in wp-admin and
   when I upload again default wp-admin/index.php file then it works. Please help
   me out

 * You haven’t provided the url of your site, so there’s no way to know for sure
   but it does sound like your site has been hacked, You need to start working your
   way through these resources:

 * Anything less will probably result in the hacker walking straight back into your
   site again.

 * The Sucuri scanner doesn’t show any malware on your site, but if you’ve restored
   the altered file, that would explain why. The fact an unauthorized person altered
   your files is almost certain evidence you’ve been hacked. Just clearing out the
   damage is not enough. As you’ve experienced, it just keeps happening again. This
   is because the hackers installed a hidden back door somewhere, allowing them 
   access any time they want regardless what you do with the obviously altered files.
 * These back doors can be very hard to find and eliminate. Please work through 
   the steps in esmi’s linked FAQ_My_site_was_hacked article.
