01 DOCTOR’S NOTE
Contain, clean and verify

Deleting the visible malware is not enough.

Removing the visible spam is not enough. A compromised WordPress may contain several persistence mechanisms, stolen credentials and an unchanged entry route. We clean, investigate, validate and close the obvious doors.

We remove malware, restore control and identify the route the attacker used so the same incident is less likely to return.
Evidence of compromise

What a hacked WordPress site can look like.

Some infections are obvious; others hide in scheduled tasks, administrator accounts, database content or dormant backdoors.

01

Visitors are redirected

Search traffic or mobile users land on spam, gambling or pharmacy pages.

Compromise indicator
02

Unknown users or files appear

Backdoors and unauthorised administrators indicate persistent access.

Compromise indicator
03

Google or the host has blocked the site

Warnings, suspended accounts and reputation damage require coordinated recovery.

Before requesting the service

Ten answers for a better-informed decision.

If your situation does not fit exactly, the form gives us enough context to route it to the right specialist.

01Can you guarantee the hack will never return?

No honest provider can guarantee that. We remove known compromise, address identified causes and reduce exposure, but future security also depends on hosting, credentials and ongoing maintenance.

02Do you need hosting access?

Usually yes. WordPress admin alone is not enough to inspect files, databases, logs, backups and server configuration properly.

03Can you handle Google warnings?

We can clean and prepare the site for review, then guide or perform the appropriate reconsideration steps where access allows.

04What do you need before starting a WordPress compromise cleanup and recovery?

We normally need hosting, files, database, WordPress, DNS and available security logs. We confirm the exact access list before work begins and request only what the agreed scope requires.

05What is included in the scope?

The working scope can cover containment, malware removal, backdoor search, access hardening and recovery validation. The proposal states inclusions, exclusions, responsibilities and acceptance criteria before delivery starts.

06How long will the work take?

Timing depends on infection depth, available clean backups, hosting visibility and the original entry route. After reviewing the intake information we provide a credible schedule or response target rather than an invented instant estimate.

07Can you work with our current setup and suppliers?

Usually yes. We first review the current platform, ownership boundaries and technical risk. If a supplier or component blocks safe delivery, we explain the constraint and the available routes.

08What will we receive at the end?

The expected outcome is a cleaned and validated site, identified findings, hardened access and post-incident recommendations. Any credentials, code, reports or operating notes included in scope are handed over through the agreed secure route.

09Who is this service designed for?

It is designed for sites showing malware, redirects, spam, unknown users or search-engine warnings. The pre-contract form helps us confirm fit before either side commits unnecessary time.

10What happens after the initial delivery?

The recommended next step is post-recovery monitoring and a recommended maintenance or hardening plan. We separate optional ongoing work clearly so there is no surprise subscription or hidden dependency.
