WordPress malware removal and hacked site repair
If your WordPress site has been hacked, removing the visible malware isn't enough. Unless you find how they got in, they'll be back. I clean the site, find the cause, close it, and give you a written report.
From $450, fixed price by severity. Work starts within one business day.
What's included
- Forensics: how the attacker got in, what they changed, and whether data was touched.
- Malware and backdoor removal: including the hidden files and database entries cheap scanners miss.
- Hardening: updates, removal of abandoned plugins, tighter permissions and admin access.
- Blacklist removal: requests to Google and others if your site has been flagged.
- A written incident report in plain English, for you and anyone you need to tell.
Why it's not $99
Automated cleanups are cheap because they only remove what a scanner recognises. Most reinfections come from a backdoor that was missed or a weakness that was never fixed. I've handled security incidents across hundreds of WordPress sites; finding the root cause is the job.
Then, make sure it can't happen again
For many brochure sites, the safest fix is to stop running WordPress. I can move your site to a fast static site with nothing to patch.
Questions
My website has been hacked. What should I do right now?
Don't delete anything yet, change your hosting and WordPress admin passwords from a clean device, and take a backup of the site as it is (it's evidence). Then get in touch. My guide website hacked: what to do covers the first hour step by step.
Is there a 24/7 emergency line?
No. I promise what I can keep: work starts within one business day, and you'll know the plan and the price before it does.
Do you work with agencies?
Yes. Agencies can use Salvage behind the scenes for their clients, with the response time in writing.
