    Hi,

    I have an unusual file in wp-includes called:

    lindex.php

    I am wondering if it is a geodirectory file of some sort, or maybe evidence of hack.

    It seems it maybe a hacker called “mister spy”, but I’m not sure – can I delete this file?

    I have attached the file.

    Thanks

    Alastair

    I didn’t see the file in Filezilla. Did you yet delete it?
    If you didn’t, you can.
    Thank you.

    I suggest that you install https://wordpress.org/plugins/sucuri-scanner
    That plugin will find suspicious files.

    GD doesn’t add any files to /wp-includes

    Thanks

    I didn’t see the attached file.
    Maybe, it’s better to have a copy?
    Sucury didn’t find anything.
    Core files are OK.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for your reply. I’d suggest that you contact your hosting provider too. Maybe they offer a tool that could help you with your issues.

    Thanks!
