Description of my issue:
Hi there, I have just run a system check on my joomla website using the RS FIrewall component, and it is telling me that there is an issue with some files from the Akeeba backup extension - please see the attched screenshot showing you what I mean.

Is this something I need to action? Or just something I can ignore?

Thanks very much for your help,

Keith

Keith,

They are right, to a point. Under most circumstances the directory should not be created with those permissions, but this is a temporary directory that is deleted at the end of the job. This is a false positive.
