Recover a compromised WordPress website properly
Removing the visible malware is only part of the job. We investigate suspicious files, access paths and vulnerable components so the cleanup addresses both the infection and likely causes.
Malware & injected-code cleanupRemove malicious files, injected PHP or JavaScript, spam links and other unauthorized changes while preserving legitimate functionality.
Backdoor & suspicious-file reviewInspect unexpected files and modified code for persistence mechanisms that could allow an attacker to return after cleanup.
Core, plugin & theme integrityCompare important WordPress components with legitimate sources and investigate unauthorized or abnormal modifications.
Users, database & access reviewCheck for rogue administrators, suspicious database content and access changes that may be connected to the compromise.
Security hardeningAddress vulnerable components, credentials and practical WordPress controls after the site has been cleaned.
Post-cleanup monitoringWatch for recurring symptoms so a remaining entry point or scheduled reinfection can be investigated quickly.
Signs your WordPress site may be hacked
Unexpected redirects, spam pages, browser warnings, unknown administrator accounts, modified files or unexplained behavior can all justify a deeper security investigation.
Cleaning the infection is only half the job
A site can appear clean while the original access path remains open. We therefore combine remediation with practical hardening and guidance around updates, credentials, backups and hosting controls.
