Title: Cache.php found – Possible Backdoor Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Cache.php found – Possible Backdoor * Resolved [creativecomponent](https://wordpress.org/support/users/creativecomponent/) * (@creativecomponent) * [16 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cachephp-found-possible-backdoor/) * When downloading my site, my virus software found a file named CACHE.PHP with a notice that it may be a possible back-door object. * I’m thankful that I found this, but does WP use a file named cache.php? * Lastly, how did this file get onto my site? Any ideas? * Thanks!
