Detecting and removing an Anonymous fox user in WordPress

[Ryaan J.]

An Anonymous "fox" User in WordPress is an unexpected user account that appears in your WordPress user list, typically with the username "fox." This can be a sign of unauthorized access, spam registrations, or a security vulnerability on your website.

[Rex Maughan]

When you log into your cPanel or dashboard, it returns you "Login is invalid" or "Please try again." it means your site might be compromised.

Reset your WordPress admin password and check for "fox" user. If you find the username with "Fox," immediately delete it.

Remove the user from the database:

• Log into cPanel > Database > phpMyAdmin.
• Go to the wp_users table.
• Also check for a user with a name like "Anonymous fox" or similar.
• Delete this user.
• Go to the wp_usermeta table and remove any related entries.
