Hacked site? Here's what we do
A hacked website usually shows up as spam pages, pharma or casino redirects, a defacement, sudden Google blacklisting, or your host suspending the account. Whatever the symptom, the fix follows the same disciplined path. We take a forensic snapshot, scan the entire file system and database for malware, backdoors and injected scripts, and remove every piece, not just the obvious one. Crucially, we then hunt down how the attacker got in, an outdated plugin, a weak password, a vulnerable theme, an exposed config, and close it, because cleaning a site without fixing the entry point just buys you a re-infection.
Once you're clean, we harden the site, set up a fresh trusted backup, and where you've been blacklisted we submit your site for review so the browser and search warnings are lifted. For most clients we then keep monitoring in place so the next attempt is caught early rather than after the damage is done. Because we run web and hosting services too, we can often act on the server directly and get you back online quickly.

Website Security & Malware Removal — FAQs
How fast can you clean a hacked site?
Emergency cleanups are usually handled within hours to a day, depending on the size of the site and how deep the infection runs. We triage and contain first so the attacker is locked out quickly, then complete the full clean and hardening.
Will the cleanup disrupt my live site?
We work to keep downtime minimal. We take a safe snapshot first and clean carefully, and where a site is actively serving malware we may put up a temporary maintenance page so visitors and Google aren't harmed while we work.
Do you check it's really gone, or could it come back?
We re-scan after cleaning and, critically, close the entry point the attacker used, which is what stops re-infection. With ongoing monitoring added, we catch any fresh attempt early rather than after it spreads.
Can you get me off Google's blacklist or remove the browser warning?
Yes. After the site is verified clean and hardened, we submit it for review through the relevant channels so the Google Safe Browsing or 'deceptive site' warning is lifted, and we confirm once it clears.
Do you work with non-WordPress sites and overseas clients?
Yes. We clean WordPress, custom PHP, and other CMS sites, and we work with clients in India and abroad. Hosting and platform don't matter, we work directly on your server or with your host to get it done.
