WordPress hack recovery
Repair and recovery for WordPress websites after a hack, malware infection, or security incident.
A hacked website does not always look hacked. Redirects may only appear to search engines. Spam content may only be injected into certain pages. Malware may run silently in the background collecting data or sending email. By the time the site owner notices something is wrong, the infection may have been active for weeks.
If your website has been compromised - blocked by Google, redirecting visitors, defaced, flagged by your hosting provider, or showing content you did not create - this is the service that addresses it.
I investigate what happened, clean up the installation, remove malicious files and injected code where possible, repair broken access, and harden the site afterwards to reduce the risk of the same entry point being used again. You get a plain-English report at the end explaining what was found, what was removed, and what was changed.
Speed matters with active infections. Contact me as soon as you suspect a problem. The longer an infection runs, the more it can spread through the database, files, and any other sites sharing the same hosting account.
After recovery, the WordPress Protection package can keep things from reaching this point again.
