Hacked Site Cleanup
Malware, spam redirects, injected code or a blacklisted domain? We clean it and lock it down.
A hacked website costs you visitors, search rankings and trust, and every hour matters. Common signs include strange redirects to spam or scam sites, Japanese or pharma pages showing up in Google, a red "Deceptive site ahead" browser warning, unknown admin users, a suspended hosting account, or your contact form sending spam.
We don't just delete the obvious bad file and hope. We find how attackers got in, remove every backdoor from files and database, replace compromised core files, reset credentials, request blacklist reviews, and harden the site so it stays clean. You get a plain-English report of what happened and how we fixed it.
