About DigoWatchWP
From the official readme · v0.9Description
The plugin DigoWatchWP scans your blog posts and pages for changes.
Whenever an entry has been changed it informs you via email. So if you receive an email and you have nothing changed you should have a closer look at your post or page. Maybe somebody changed your post or page to include a spam-link (e.g. links to OnlineCasino, adult-content are very popular).
