Emergency Hacked WordPress Site Recovery

The most common entry points are outdated plugins with known vulnerabilities, weak admin passwords, and insecure hosting configurations. During our cleanup, we identify the exact exploit used and patch it.

We take a full backup before cleanup starts, then remove only the malicious code and files, leaving your legitimate content, images and database records in place. The exception is data the attacker had already deleted before we arrived, which cleanup cannot bring back unless a clean backup exists.

Recovery time depends on the infection, hosting access, database contamination, and whether the site is still under attack. We provide an initial assessment and expected window before cleanup, then share progress updates as work proceeds.

We quote a fixed price after a free preliminary assessment, so you know the total before we start. Pricing scales with infection scope: number of compromised files, database contamination, and whether the site is under active attack. We do not bill hourly for emergency work, because nobody in a crisis should be watching a meter run.

Usually not, and it's often actively harmful. Infections commonly sit dormant for weeks before activating, meaning your backups may already be infected. Restoring also does nothing about the vulnerability that let attackers in, so reinfection follows within days. And it won't clear a Google blacklisting, which requires a reconsideration request regardless of what you restore.

The warning is lifted through a reconsideration request in Google Search Console after the site is demonstrably clean. Review timing is controlled by Google, so we cannot guarantee a fixed turnaround. We verify the property, document the remediation, submit the request, and address malicious URLs indexed under your domain.

Yes, this is common. Hosts suspend to stop outbound spam or malware distribution and generally restore access for remediation when a professional is engaged. We can liaise with your host's abuse team directly, or work from a local copy and hand back a verified-clean codebase along with the remediation documentation hosts require.

Recovery includes tracing and closing the confirmed entry point, rotating credentials, and applying suitable hardening. No provider can promise that a site will never be compromised through a different vulnerability. If reinfection occurs through the same confirmed vector within 30 days, we review it under the agreed recovery scope.
