 * This morning (2021-08-05) the “.htaccess” and the “wp-config.php” were updated(
   saved by php) at the same time (filestamp).
    “wp-config.php” has CHMOD 444.
 * So far the file “wp-config.php” was never changed automatically by iThemes Security
   before.
 * Fact: Content is unchanged – it looks like a iThemes Security R/W test.
    Q: This
   makes no sense – a bug?

    MiKu
 * Version info:
    iThemes Security 8.0.1. wordpress 5.8

 * I have uninstalled iThemes Security Plugin and if the changes no longer occur
   I can assume that iThemes Security caused them.
 * Next i will uninstall iThemes Security on all client sites since the plugin performs
   this strange behavior.
 * No one provided me with an answer to this.
    This shows me that this function 
   is not normal.
