 * Hi everyone (WF Team/Community)
 * After I installed WF and it cleaned my site, almost everyday WF reports in its
   scan that
 * > “WordPress core file modified: wp-includes/l10n.php” as critical issue
 * So as always I do a “Repair” then the issue appears again and the file changes.
 * Any idea or help with this!!
    Is there a hack stuck in my site??
 * Thanks and I appreciate your help!!!

 * Hi [@nazgool](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nazgool/), thanks for reaching
   out to us.
 * One option would be copying the contents of the file, or at least the reported
   changes by Wordfence here, however _there is a chance_ that there’s obfuscated
   code elsewhere caused by malware – although I can’t 100% confirm that without
   seeing more details.
 * Sending a copy of that **l10n.php** to our team at **samples @ wordfence . com**
   might be a good idea. They should let you know whether a site cleaning should
   be performed or manually removing the code you’re seeing is appropriate.
 * **Please note that when attaching files, ensure that you remove any database 
   access credentials or keys/salts contained inside before sending.**
 * Thanks,
 * Peter.
