  Should there be a dozen or so new dot-db files in the CGI / index folder every day ????

  Our site is getting hacked every day with malicious code, and it all seems to be taking place in the CGI folder.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  dot-db files in the CGI / index folder

  If you haven’t yet, you’ll want to head over to the support forums for sites using the standalone WP software. You’ve posted your question in the forums for sites hosted by WordPressdotcom.

  https://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t have a username there, you can register one on that page.

  Standalone WP and hosted WordPressdotcom are different entities. You can learn more about that here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Best wishes
