    hello -- I have a site set up with the Infinity Pro theme. Recently this site was hacked, and I restored it back to before the hack. I took a look at the list of files on the server in the hosting root after I did that, and there are 2 php files that look suspicious, but I don't know if I should delete them or not. These are the 2 file names:
    s4mccv706u.php
    ni8le3yn6r.php

    Can I delete these? Or should I delete these?

    I also changed the passwords for WP users and also the password for sftp access.
    Updated the version of php.
    Updated WP, Genesis, and plugins.

    So do those 2 php files have anything to do with the theme? Can I delete them?

    Those files have nothing to do with the theme.

    Thank you - I deleted those files and found a few others that didn't belong, deleted those too. And everything appears to be working fine.
