WORDPRESS SECURITY & RECOVERY

WordPress Malware Removal
& Security Recovery

Cleanup alone is not enough. We investigate compromised files, backdoors, unauthorized users, database modifications, vulnerable components, and the surrounding server environment where appropriate.

WHAT WE CHECK

We look beyond the visibly infected page.

A compromised WordPress site may contain multiple persistence mechanisms. Depending on the environment, the review may include WordPress core, plugins, themes, uploads, database content, administrator accounts, web-server configuration, scheduled tasks, and relevant server-side files.

Compromise Investigation

  • Suspicious files and injected code
  • Backdoors and web shells
  • Modified WordPress core files
  • Unauthorized administrator accounts
  • Suspicious scheduled tasks

Data & Environment Review

  • Malicious database content
  • Plugin and theme condition
  • WordPress and PHP versions
  • File and directory permissions
  • Relevant web-server configuration

AFTER RECOVERY

Reducing the risk of reinfection

If the compromise is associated with outdated components, excessive exposure, weak permissions, unsafe configuration, or other identifiable issues, improvement options are provided as appropriate.

Scope and effort vary by hosting environment and severity. The environment is reviewed first so the practical scope and expected work can be explained before proceeding.
