Hey, I’m getting some random files named “core.XXXXXX” (where XXXXXXX is a random number) generated at a similar (but not identical) time every morning in my public\_html directory on my webhost.
Seems to have started on the 18th of Feb. I thought it might be a backup plugin because the file size seems to be slowly increasing over time. I’ve gone through all the plugins in use on the site and can’t find anything obvious. Same goes for any backup settings on the host (I can’t find any).
I reached out to support at the webhost, who suggested it’s likely malware. They have submitted a “scan” and pointed me to the log/output file, which I am currently waiting to complete.
Has anyone here seen this before? if so, do you know what plugin may be the problem?
