Hi all, using itheme security, and monitoring a wp site, a bunch of new files are being added under the main directory almost everyday, sometimes 50. Their names always have the same pattern: .xxxxxxxxxx see the pic attached. Should I be concerned? This format reminds me of part of files waiting to be assembled together later. Am I paranoïd? Are they normal Apache/PHP adds-on? I have other wp sites with another Host not showing this.

Well, open one in a text editor and see what they contain?
Probably logging of something though, 1690199762 as an example would be 24th of july, 11:56:02 GMT in Unix time, so it’s likely just a log saved with the timestamp as the filename.
So likely not malicious.
Oh lord running a web server in the home directory is never smart
