 * I have found strange code in all my wordpress files.Some was stored it the error
   code files 400 thru 500 files. i read the forums in here and thought like they
   did it was wordfence. Today I don’t think so because I just helped a customer
   remove 6k of it from his php site. Same code so I contacted my custom server 
   farm support. Results: security says unknown but no threat”benign” was the word
   used. Engineering: No idea can’t find any function it does,but it came in through
   applications. So now I’m sending Emails to Softaculous and fantastico Delux also
   WHM and Cpanel. Will let you know but it is not wordfence. And no they did not
   put the new user “backdoor” with full admin rights in any installation(from wordfence).
   I posted this to let everyone know if in error please remove.

 * Remain calm and carefully follow [this guide](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked).
   When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of [the recommended security measures](https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress).
 * If you’re unable to clean your site(s) successfully, there are reputable organizations
   that can clean your sites for you. Sucuri and Wordfence are two.

 * Wordfence has no idea what it is and as I stated it is showing up in non wordpress
   sites.

 * If your files do not match those from wordpress, you’ve been hacked.
