How WordPress sites get hacked

Almost every hack uses one of a few ways in. Finding the one that was used is what stops it happening again.

Out-of-date plugins and themes

Security holes are published once a fix exists. Bots then scan for every site that hasn't updated yet.

Pirated or abandoned plugins

"Nulled" copies of premium plugins often come with a backdoor inside. Plugins nobody maintains never get their holes fixed.

Weak or reused passwords

Bots try common and leaked passwords against the WordPress login page all day, every day.

Forgotten admin accounts

Logins left behind by past developers or staff, sometimes with administrator rights nobody remembers granting.

Other sites on the same hosting

An old test copy in a subfolder can be infected and reach your live site on the same account.

Leftover files

Old backups, test copies and install scripts in public folders give attackers an easy way in.

What's included

  • Malware and backdoor removal from files and the database
  • Database cleaning: injected links, spam pages and rogue admin users removed
  • Every password and the WordPress security keys rotated
  • Hardening: file permissions, login protection, file editing off, unused plugins and themes removed
  • Google and host blacklist removal requests
  • A report of how they got in and what we changed
  • 60 days of the Care plan: tested updates, daily backups and monitoring

  3. We clean and harden it

    Malware and backdoors removed, passwords and keys rotated, the way in closed.

  4. Warnings cleared, 60 days of care

    We request Google and host reviews, send the report, and watch the site for 60 days.

Questions we get asked

Will Google remove the warning?

Once the site is clean, we submit a review request through Google Search Console and to any other blocklist that flagged you. Google usually reviews within a few days. The timing is Google's, but a clean site with the way in closed is what gets the warning lifted.

Can the site stay online while you work?

Usually, yes. If the site is sending visitors to spam or scam pages, we put up a maintenance page while we clean, so customers don't land somewhere harmful. Your host may already have taken it offline; we work with that too.

How did this happen?

Almost always through an out-of-date plugin or theme, a weak or reused password, an old admin account, or a file left behind by a past developer. Your report names the way in we found and what we changed to close it.

Do I need a security plugin after?

A security plugin helps, but it doesn't keep plugins updated or remove what you no longer use, which is how most sites get hacked. Your 60 days of the Care plan cover updates, backups and monitoring. After that it's $249/month, cancel any month.

What if my host suspended the account?

Send us hosting access and the suspension notice. We clean the files and database, then ask your host to restore the account with a note on what we found and fixed. Hosts usually lift a suspension once the site is clean.

What's the difference from the $599 fix?

The $599 emergency fix is for a site that's broken: a white screen, a critical error, a failed update. The $899 cleanup is for a site that's been hacked. It includes malware and backdoor removal, password and key rotation, hardening, blacklist removal requests, 60 days of care and a free re-clean within 30 days.
