  We don’t use .htaccess files on WordPress.com (we use NGIX servers), however, all sites hosted with WordPress.com include automatic malware scanning, and if your site is ever compromised, we can help to investigate the cause and get your site restored to a healthy state. For site’s not hosted here, we would recommend using Jetpack Scan to help protect your site from security threats: https://jetpack.com/upgrade/scan/
