I have been happily running Easyblog 3.9.19335 on Joomla 3.4.6.
I installed Codeguard about 6 months ago to backup and alert me when files change.
Today I received alert that two files (1 js, 1 json extension) were updated. I can't think of a reason they would have been updated. The files are attached, here is the path:
/http://www.gringofurniture.com/web/content/media/com_easyblog/config/1fbc70f8ff8c120b5834e38709744023.js
/http://www.gringofurniture.com/web/content/media/com_easyblog/config/1fbc70f8ff8c120b5834e38709744023.json

The last time one of tehse files were updated in that directory for a similar set of files is June 2017.

Below are the two files and a screen shot of the ftp.

Does this look like a normal behavior?

I know the version is hopelessly old. We are migrating off of joomla and thus have stood pat on Component upgrades. I just want to know this is not some malware.
For older versions of EasyBlog, it generates these meta on json files. It is perfectly fine. However, we have removed the use of such meta files on 5.0 onwards.
