WordPress Security Audit & Malware Cleanup

I identify and clean hacked WordPress sites using a careful, evidence-first workflow: backups first, core verification, plugin/theme inspection, database spam checks, suspicious file review, cleanup, hardening and monitoring.

Who this is for

Owners of a hacked or compromised WordPress site.

What I deliver

Full file + database backup
Core checksum verification
Plugin / theme / uploads scan
Database spam inspection
Cleanup of confirmed injected records
Hardening: WAF, 2FA, disable file editing
Post-cleanup monitoring

How it works

  1. Isolate the site (maintenance mode)
  2. Snapshot files and database
  3. Verify WordPress core
  4. Scan plugins, themes and uploads
  5. Inspect the database for spam and injections
  6. Confirm real malware vs false positives
  7. Clean, replace or remove safely
  8. Harden and monitor

Common questions

Can you guarantee my site will never be hacked again?

No — and be cautious of anyone who does. Cleanup and hardening reduce risk substantially, but no site is ever 100% guaranteed.

Do you delete files immediately?

No. I back everything up first and confirm what is actually malicious before removing anything, to avoid breaking legitimate functionality.
