Hello everyone
I hope you're doing well. I'm facing a critical issue with my website (on WordPress) and I'm hoping to get some insights from this community.
Today, when I tried to access my website, I encountered a frustrating 403 error. To tackle this, I took the step of deleting the ".htaccess" file, which surprisingly resolved the problem. Unfortunately, my relief was short-lived, as the same error reappeared after a few hours.
Digging deeper into the issue, I made an unsettling discovery. During my investigation, I stumbled upon two files in the root directory of my website: "ioxi-rex3.php7" and "ioxi-rex5.php7". This has raised some red flags for me.
I've attached these files to this post. I would greatly appreciate it if any of you could take a look and share your insights. Are these files harmful? Has anyone else encountered similar files or issues before?
I'm truly puzzled by this situation and concerned about the security of my website. Your expertise and guidance would be invaluable to me at this moment.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
Best regards,
Pardeep Patel
