    After scanning my website with WordFence, I receive this alert:

    This file appears to be installed by a hacker to perform malicious activity. If you know about this file you can choose to ignore it to exclude it from future scans. The text we found in this file that matches a known malicious file is: "wp_remote_retrieve_body(wp_remote_get($host.'ui'.'jquery.org/jquery-1.6.3.min.js'))". The infection type is: Spam:PHP/uijquery.org.


    My site seems to be running fine. Is this file malicious? Is jquery.org a legit site?

    Hi Chris,

    jquery is a popular and key type of Javascript language which is used on almost every website.

    https://jquery.org/

    You will need to consult your website administrator or hosting to improve your security and file permissions if there are openings in your server for code to be injected into your files.


    Kind regards,
