Thanks for the review. We re sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with your websites. We take concerns like this very seriously.
There were security vulnerabilities in older versions of the plugin, and we fully acknowledge that. As soon as these were discovered, our team patched them immediately and released updated versions. This is why we strongly recommend always using the latest version of the plugin, as it includes all security fixes and improvements.
That said, simply seeing hidden files or suspicious plugins on the server doesn’t automatically mean our plugin caused the issue. File-management tools often get blamed because they reveal files that were already placed on the server through:
- outdated or vulnerable themes/plugins
- weak admin passwords or compromised accounts
- insecure hosting environments
- malware infections that existed before installation
Because our plugin provides access similar to FTP, it often becomes the first place users notice these problems but it’s not always the source of them.
If you can share any logs, suspicious file names, or details from your hosting provider, we’ll gladly review them to confirm whether anything is connected to our plugin at support@filemanagerpro.io .
For extra protection, you can also use a security plugin like Wordfence, which can scan for malware, block attacks, and alert you early about threats.
