WordPress core files are gibberish

[ad_1]

[wp-comment.php])

I checked my website today and saw the message “There has been a critical error on your website.”

So I took a look at the cpanel and I saw a bunch of wordpress core files that got modified the day before at the exact same time. This is what’s inside them, could this be malware or some kind of corruption? How do I go about fixing this?

[wp-load.php has some Chinese characters in it])

Only the core files are affected, the rest is untouched, which makes me think that this might be malware.

  1. Lots of people being hacked atm, this is about the 4th time I’ve suggested Word fence. I don’t work for them I promise.

    What are you basing this on?

    You’ve been hacked. Install wordfence and run a scan.

    Keep your plugins up to date and don’t use nulled software.
