  Sucuri has signalled my site’s infection with wp-itapi.php several times in the past 3 weeks. They have cleaned the site and I have run checks on my systems and changed passwords etc but still I get reinfected.
  What does wp-itapi.php do? Is its risk material? How do I prevent reinfection?

  I have further information on the infection from Sucuri.

  Warning: File possibly compromised: ./wp-itapi.php (php.exploit.sysinfo.009). Manual review recommended.

  Hi @rjanderson2013,

  I’m afraid that we can’t help directly because your sharrockandanderson.co.uk site is not with WordPress.com managed hosting. As such, we don’t have the ability to take a closer look at your site.

  Instead, your host uses open-source WordPress.org software, which differs from what we offer here on WordPress.com.

  The good news though is that help is available in the WordPress.org forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/

  Otherwise, you may want to contact your host for further support.

  I hope that points you in the right direction.
