With Imunify360 we secure the server against malware and viruses. If a file is getting detected, it will be disabled by setting the permissions to 000. This means that nobody can access, execute, modify or delete the file.
This is a precaution to prevent further abuse on the server. Otherwise, it is most likely that a website would have been hacked or abused using this file. Usually, files as these are uploaded through forms.
