wpfan1000 on "[Plugin: Wordfence Security] Possible false positive"

This morning Wordfence emailed me this message from one of my sites:

Alert generated at Sunday 16th of March 2014 at 07:48:44 AM

Warnings:

* Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/yet-another-related-posts-plugin/readme.txt

I checked on the server and the readme.txt file has the same "Changed" date as all other files in the plugin - in my case Feb 10 2014.

So based on this date I do not think the file was modified.

Also I am wondering why a hacker would want to modify a txt file since it cant execute code.

I also checked that the plugin is up to date and it is - I was thinking maybe Wordfence was comparing my version to the repository version and seeing a difference but I have the up-to-date version.

So I am not sure why this Warning message is being provided by Wordfence.

Please help
