WordPress pages contain “Silence is golden.” comment. Why?

You might have wondered that some WordPress page has a weird pages with comment “Silence is golden”. Some people might complain about the hacking of the page. Even Latest version of WordPress also have these kind of pages with the comment “Silence is golden” What does it mean. Before explaining I will show you the wired comment.

<?php
// Silence is golden.

And the wired thing is this is the fresh downloaded latest version WordPress.

The main aim of these kind of wiered comment is to make sure that the listing of files of the directory they are located is not shown in server configuration. These are harmless but not malware that some claims.

Hope you got the point. See you. Happy Coding.
