Malware redirects
Visitors land on your site and get sent to gambling, pharma, or scam pages. This often only triggers on mobile or for search engine traffic, making it hard to spot from your own desktop.

How hacks happen
WordPress runs a large share of the web, so it is a common target for automated attacks. Most attacks are not personal: bots scan the web for sites with known security holes.
Most attacks are not sophisticated. An outdated plugin with a known hole, a pirated ("nulled") theme, or a password you also use somewhere else is usually all it takes. The attacker does not need to know your business exists.
A hack can hurt more than the site. Google may warn visitors away, your host may suspend the account, and email from your domain can start landing in spam. If the site collects customer details, check whether you have to tell those customers about the breach. The sooner a site is cleaned, the less there is to clean.
Warning signs
Visitors land on your site and get sent to gambling, pharma, or scam pages. This often only triggers on mobile or for search engine traffic, making it hard to spot from your own desktop.
A red warning screen stops visitors before they reach your site. It means Google found harmful content there, and visitors have to click past the warning to reach you.
Your homepage or key pages show content you did not create — political messages, spam advertisements, or a hacker calling card. Your database or template files have been directly modified.
Your site looks normal when you visit it, but Google shows Japanese or pharmaceutical spam under your domain in search results. Attackers inject hidden pages that only search engine crawlers see.
Your site suddenly slows down for no clear reason. Malware can run cryptocurrency miners, send spam email or attack other sites, all using your server in the background.
You cannot log in to wp-admin. Your password no longer works, your admin email has been changed, or the login page redirects elsewhere. Attackers often create hidden admin accounts and lock out legitimate users.
Your host shut down your site with a vague abuse notice. Hosting providers scan for malware and suspend accounts that are distributing malicious content or sending spam — often with little warning.
Your security plugin is reporting lots of file changes, unknown files in wp-content, or modified WordPress files. Treat it as a sign the site needs checking, not just a plugin glitch.
What we cover
We handle both sides of security: removing the damage that already happened, and making it much less likely to happen again.
We check the site's files and database for malicious code, backdoors and injected scripts, and remove them. Scanners miss things, so we check by hand as well.
We look for how the attacker most likely got in, such as an outdated plugin, a weak password or an altered WordPress file, and close that hole.
If Google or another blocklist flagged your site as dangerous, we ask them to review it once it is clean. They decide when the warning comes off.
We set up a firewall and login protection that block many automated attacks, such as bots guessing passwords.
We review every user account, remove access that should not be there, and reset passwords and security keys so stolen logins stop working.
Every care plan includes daily security scanning, weekly updates and daily backups, so a new problem is caught early and there is a clean copy to restore.
Our process
Five steps, the same on every cleanup. Looking is free, and you approve the price before any paid work.
We look at the site to see how far the infection goes and how the attacker most likely got in. The way in matters as much as the infection itself. Then we confirm a flat price, and you approve it before any paid work starts.
Before we change anything, we take a full backup of the site as it is. That keeps a record if you need one for your own records or compliance. Then we stop the active damage: redirects switched off, unknown admin accounts disabled, malware stopped from spreading.
Files, database, accounts and the hidden ways back in: the same layers as our hacked site cleanup. Malicious code comes out, altered WordPress files are replaced with clean copies, and we check the uploads folder, scheduled tasks and server rules for backdoors. Scanners miss things, so we check by hand too.
A cleanup that leaves the hole open invites the attacker back. We close the hole that was most likely used, update the software, reset passwords and security keys, add a firewall and login protection, and tighten file permissions. The goal is a much harder target.
We scan the site again to confirm it is clean, and ask Google and any other blocklist that flagged it to review it. Then we monitor your site daily for 30 days to catch any re-infection attempts. You receive a full report documenting what happened, what was fixed, and what defenses are now in place.
Transparency
If your site is so badly compromised that core data is corrupted beyond recovery, a cleanup may not be enough. We will tell you honestly if a rebuild is the better path, and price that as a separate project. If a cleanup cannot fix it, we tell you before you pay for one.
Our cleanup includes 30 days of post-cleanup monitoring. After that, daily security scanning, weekly updates and daily backups come with every care plan.
If the attacker deleted content and no backup exists — not on your host, not locally, not in a staging environment — we cannot recreate what was never saved. We will recover everything that is technically recoverable, but we are transparent about what is gone.
If you handle customer data (especially payment or health data), a breach may mean you have to notify people under US state breach laws, GDPR or card-payment (PCI DSS) rules. We document the technical details of the breach for your records, but legal advice is outside our scope.
