 * Hi Julien,
 * Are you serious here.
    Lets see what do you need to install wp-filemanager
 * 1) Administrative access to wordpress
    2) write access to file system by web 
   server
 * Frankly with both these access if an attacker is installing wp-filemanager to
   edit files i feel pity on the attacking skills of the person. If you have both
   above listed access you would mostly also have edit theme & plugins files access
   and should be able to edit theme directly and put exploit code.
 * If you were a victim please ensure your username and passwords are complex enough
   to be be easy to guess.
