    Hi @cobbydaler, thanks for the detailed message.

    I’ve actually seen very little of this specific file being mentioned as created in /wp-admin.

    It’s hard to say without a sample of the contents so please send a copy of the file (download through FTP or your hosting file manager) to samples @ wordfence .com so our threat intelligence team can take a look and get back to you.

    Remember to obscure/remove any passwords or keys/salts in any files you do send to us.

    Thanks,
    Peter.
