# wp-admin/.backup_time ???????

 * I have 8 WordPress sites all with hostgator. I have installed Wordfence on all
   8 sites. Wordfence is saying the file wp-admin/.backup_time is bogus – but it
   has appeared at the same exact time on all 8 of my sites; leading me to believe
   it’s been born from something Hostgator is doing server side; perhaps backups?
 * My sites appear completely unaffected and work as normal.
 * Is wp-admin/.backup_time always bad???

 * Hi gweb1,
    No, it’s now always bad, this file seems to be related to some backup
   operations by Hostgator, please get in contact with them to confirm that, if 
   they didn’t recognize this file please drop us an email including this file at“
   samples [at] wordfence [dot] com” for further investigations.
 * Thanks.
