File Integrity Watch
WordPress File Integrity Monitoring and Change Alerts
File Integrity Watch monitors your WordPress core, plugin, and theme files for unauthorized changes. It compares your files against known-good versions and instantly alerts you when anything is modified, added, or deleted. Because unexpected file changes are often the first sign of a hack, you'll know the moment something is off, right on your phone.
What It Does
Attackers frequently alter or add files to plant backdoors and hide malicious code. File Integrity Watch keeps a trusted baseline of your WordPress core, plugins, and themes, then continuously checks for any deviation. A modified core file you didn't update, a new file in a plugin folder, or a deleted theme file all trigger an immediate alert.
This early-warning system catches tampering before it turns into a full compromise. Each alert tells you exactly which file changed and how, so you can act fast or confirm it was a legitimate update, all from the web dashboard or mobile app.
How It Works
- Builds a trusted baseline of WordPress core, plugin, and theme files
- Continuously compares current files against the baseline and official versions
- Flags any file that is modified, newly added, or deleted without authorization
- Sends instant alerts by email and mobile push with the exact file details
Key Benefits
- Catch a hack at the first sign of file tampering, often before malware even runs
- Instant mobile push means you're notified anywhere, not just at your desk
- Replaces a standalone integrity-checker plugin and works hand in hand with auto malware removal
