Anonymousfox and postfox mail id's found in C panel which are not created by user

[Vijayakumar J R]

Hello team,

We hosted WordPress websites on our C panels.
I found below miscellaneous Webmail id's which are not created by us. I guess some hackers created and we want to know how it has been created
* [email protected]
* [email protected]

Please help to avoid/stop creating such mail id's and let me know how they are creating.

Awaiting your response.

Thank you all

which also links to some other forums posts here that go into more detail on this. Let me know if you need more clarification after checking those out!

Anonymousfox is quite a well-known WordPress hack, and a few years old now.
If this was a recent find, then I'd suggest that you're using an older (unpatched) version of WordPress.
