WORDPRESS HACK CLEANUP IN CHRISTCHURCH
Cleaned out, then locked down.
Malware, spam pages, fake captcha redirects and backdoors removed. Then the hole that let them in gets closed, so it does not happen again next month.
Removal is only half of it.
Most cleanups delete the symptoms and miss the way in. The site is reinfected within weeks and nobody knows why.
Full removal.
Injected files, database entries, rogue admin accounts and scheduled tasks found and removed, not just the visible defacement.
Talk it through
Entry point closed.
We trace how they got in, patch it, rotate every credential, and check whether anything was taken while they were there.

Delisted and monitored.
Google and browser blocklist reviews submitted, then monitoring left in place so a reinfection surfaces immediately.

Back online, and staying that way.
Common questions.
Common signs are redirects to spam or a fake verification page, a "This site may be hacked" warning in Google, admin users or pages you did not create, a suspended hosting account, or a sudden drop in traffic. If any of these are happening, get in touch and we will take a look.
Yes. That is one of the most common attacks we are seeing right now. We find the injected code, remove it, patch the vulnerability that let it in, and get the redirect gone so Google stops flagging your site.
For urgent cases we respond the same day and usually within the hour during work hours. Most cleanups are done within one to three days, depending on how deep the infection goes.
We do not just remove the visible malware. We hunt down the backdoors and hidden admin accounts, then patch the vulnerability that let the attacker in and harden the site. That is what stops a reinfection a few days later.
Yes. Once the site is clean, we submit it to Google for review so the warning and any blacklisting clears. We monitor until it is gone.
Yes. We are a Christchurch studio but we clean up WordPress sites for businesses right across New Zealand. Hack cleanup is done remotely, so your location does not matter.
