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 * anonymousfox-rf7p2@domain.com * smtpfox-cq3ph@domain.com Please help to avoid/stop creating such mail id's and let me know how they are creating. Awaiting your response. Thank you all

  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.
