 * I have this Error on the Site:
    `?php /** * Front to the WordPress application.
   This file doesn't do anything, but loads * wp-blog-header.php which does and 
   tells WordPress to load the theme. * * @package WordPress */ /** * Tells WordPress
   to load the WordPress theme and output it. * * @var bool */ define( 'WP_USE_THEMES',
   true ); /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */ require __DIR__ .'/
   wp-blog-header.php';`
 * Could you help or have a idea?

 * Malware, or just a syntax error?
 * Your file(s) is not following the right php syntax and is throwing a syntax error,
   seems you’re missing a tag(s):
    <?php ?> See here: [https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.phptags.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.phptags.php)
 * Did you update anything recently? or update any files using File Manager / Control
   panel?
    This could be hard to track down – but I suggest to check these files
   for syntax first: /wp-config.php /index.php /wp-content/themes/index.php
 * Also – see screenshot:

 * If those characters are not intended to be there, then I would assume your site
   has been compromised with the Japanese Hack:
