 * Hi
 * The security plugin Wordfence indicates 4 files as “modified from the files that
   are distributed by WordPress.org”. The files are changelog.md, admin.js, admin.
   js.map and koko-analytics.php.
    Deinstallation and reinstallation did not resolve
   the issue. Do I have to worry?
 * Thanks for your answer

 * Does it show you the full path of these files?
    Did you install the plugin from
   git or from the wordpress repository?
 * It’s probably just a false positive, especially if you delete and re-install 
   it and still get the same warning.

 * It shows the full path, and I installed and re-installed from the wordpress repository.
 * Today I made another Wordfence scan using stricter conditions – and no more modified
   files show up.
 * I do not know why, but the topic seems resolved.
 * Thanks anyway
