WordFence Deleted – Cannot Re-Install – Possible Hack?

On a website that has WordPress install by GoDaddy, WordFence plugin suddenly disappeared. The plugin folder is still there (via FTP), but empty. I tried to reinstall WordFence via WordPress Admin and the install failed.

The error message said, “Installation failed: Could not copy file. wordfence/images/icons/ajax24.gif”

This just happened, the disappearance of WordFence from the WordPress site and a fail on a reinstall.

My will first guess was a GoDaddy quirk, since some plugins won’t work with their WordPress hosting, yet a second website I have is also on GoDaddy, same hosting, yet WordFence is still installed and working. So this leads me to suspect that this could be a possible hack that succeeded against WordFence?

Any clue to what is happening?
