Ask HN: What are these strange files that appeared on a WordPress website?

2 pointsby ImpressiveWebsalmost 4 years ago
I noticed the following very large files that appeared on my server on a specific domain:<p>core.926<p>core.930<p>core.957<p>core.958<p>core.959<p>core.961<p>Each of the files is about 5GB in size. The web developers working on the website have no idea how the files got there.<p>I&#x27;ve since deleted them, but I&#x27;m just curious if anyone knows what these are. Is this some sort of vulnerability? Malware? Out of date WP plugins causing this? A search doesn&#x27;t seem to pull up anything useful.

Install Wordfence and see what it discovers.
