Hacked WordPress: Take the Domain Back Today
Spam inject, admin users you did not create, redirects to pharmacies. We isolate, clean or replace, and put your domain on a stack we can patch.
Compromise is a go-live problem
Google flags the domain. Hosting suspends it. Customers see a payday loan interstitial. That is an ASAP ticket.
Contain
Snapshot. Freeze FTP/SFTP keys. Rotate the DB password and every admin user. Check cron and mu-plugins. Search for eval(base64…) and unknown wp-content drops.
Replace when clean is slower than live
A same-day landing on Cloudflare with your offer and phone number beats a three-day plugin archaeology while ads keep spending.
Aftercare
Patches, SSL, form that actually notifies you, and a plan to stay off the random theme marketplace.
Questions
- Will you keep WordPress?
- If it is recoverable and you need it. If the plugin surface is the incident, we replace the public site with a landing and migrate content later.
- Do you log in as admin and hope?
- We take a filesystem + DB snapshot first. Then we rotate secrets. Hope is not a step.
