Wordfence Scan Site Issue

Hi There,
Please can you tell me how I can fix this? Please see below, Wordfence is seeing this as a security issue.
Many thanks. Kind Regards, Lauren.

The Plugin “Itthinx Updates” appears to be abandoned (updated 21/06/2017, tested to WP 10.0.0).
Type: Plugin Abandoned

Plugin Name: Itthinx Updates
Current Plugin Version: 1.2.0
Last Updated: 21/06/2017
Details: It was last updated 3 years 4 months ago and tested up to WordPress 10.0.0. Plugins can be removed from wordpress.org for various reasons. This can include benign issues like a plugin author discontinuing development or moving the plugin distribution to their own site, but some might also be due to security issues. In any case, future updates may or may not be available, so it is worth investigating the cause and deciding whether to temporarily or permanently replace or remove the plugin. Get more information.

    Hi Lauren,

    Welcome to our support forum and many thanks for sending this report.

    FYI, this is an approach used by WordPress in general even in the public plugins repository to warn users when a plugin hasn’t been updated for a long period but it doesn’t necessarily mean that the plugin is harmful. Especially for Itthinx Updates plugin I can assure you that it is not a threat, but simply there is no reason to update it since there is no issue affecting the functionality of the plugin itself or the installations where it is used.

    I would also recommend you to review your report once more because it is not possible to have tested the plugin to WP 10.0.0 simply because WP hasn’t reached that version yet.

    I will mark this topic accordingly and we will release an update for Itthinx Updates so that you stop seeing that notice.

    Kind regards,
    George
