Answered htaccess automatically altered

    Since 02-08-2018 our .htaccess-file is automatically changed.

    The following lines are inserted on top of the file:
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^/index.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . //index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    After that the accessrights are set to "444".

    We didn't make any changes in settings. And we didn't update a plugin or ModX.

    Is this a know feature, bug of hack? I hope someone has a explanation or a hint how to investigate further.

    It looks like this: https://codex.wordpress.org/htaccess.

    Thanks in advance.

      Maybe your server control panel. Some over-helping software?
      Cloudflare through Bluehost could marvelously alter that file.
