    Hello! I just got this mail from my hosting provider, just after updating RankMath to the latest version, which basically says that some possibile malicious files were found in:

    /home2/icandrea/public_html/wp-content/plugins/seo-by-rank-math/includes/modules/analytics/assets/js/stats.js

    The specific file/string that triggers the warning is:

    YARA.SP_31_20180830_php_xor_function.UNOFFICIAL FOUND

    Is it a false positive or something related with your latest update?
