CardRecon false positives?

We use CardRecon to search our servers for credit card numbers.
CardRecon came back with a large number of credit card numbers found in .tsidx and .lex files in the splunk/lib/splunk/_internaldb/db/... directories.
These are just indexing files- and don't contain log data from log sources correct?
Can I consider them false positives?

Hi Meterman,

yes, those files are Splunk internal logs and by default do not contain any other events or log sources. I agree with you that you can consider them false positives.

cheers, MuS

Sorry... .lex files, not .dex!
