Why didn’t Wordfence find these files?

So on Monday I installed Wordfence on about 20 of my websites. Today I figure out that all of these sites were hacked about 2 months ago and injected with some sort of redirect URLs…. I noticed in the file manager that all of these sites had a few randomly named folders along with a /sitemap folder.. Bottom line, there were some very odd looking & named files across the board….

My question is — why didn’t Wordfence find these? I’ve gotten a bunch of useless notifications from Wordfence via email but no mention of these files or folders.

Any ideas? Does Wordfence not scan files that already excited before installing WF?

Any suggestions appreciated.
