My WordPress installation has been hit by a malware injection and I need it cleaned as soon as possible. I’m looking for a specialist who can: • Pin-point and remove every malicious file, script, or database entry • Restore any core, theme, or plugin files that have been compromised • Patch security holes and harden the site (firewall rules, secure permissions, up-to-date plugins, and a quality security plugin such as Wordfence or Sucuri) • Deliver a concise report outlining what was found, what was fixed, and how to avoid a repeat incident Once the site is sanitised I’d like you to run a fresh scan to confirm it’s 100 % clean, then put the site back online without downtime. Access to hosting, cPanel, and WordPress admin will be provided immediately. If you need anything else—SSH, staging environment, recent backups—let me know and I’ll arrange it. Acceptance criteria • No malicious code remains (verified by at least two security scans) • Search results and browser warnings are cleared • Site performance is unaffected or improved • Final security report is submitted If you have proven experience in malware cleanup and WordPress hardening, I’m ready to start right away.

A malware injection on a WordPress site is not just about deleting a few bad files—the real risk is hidden backdoors, infected database entries, and reinfection after relaunch. I’d start by tracing the infection points across core files, theme/plugin directories, and database records, then harden the install so it does not come back the moment the site goes live again. I handle WordPress cleanup, hacked-site recovery, file integrity checks, and post-cleaning hardening regularly. That includes restoring altered files safely, tightening permissions, updating vulnerable components, and validating the result with multiple scans so the site is clean before reopening access. To avoid unnecessary downtime, I can work directly from cPanel/hosting and WP admin and tell you immediately if SSH or a recent backup would help. - Is the site currently offline already, or do you want cleanup done while keeping frontend access active? - Have you noticed any Google/browser malware warnings yet, or is the issue limited to the server/files for now?

If malware was injected into your WordPress installation, the important part is making sure nothing dormant is left behind. Simply removing visible code is rarely enough, so I would check files, database entries, scheduled tasks, and vulnerable plugins/themes, then secure the environment before putting the site fully back online. I’ve worked on WordPress malware removal, hacked website recovery, and cleanup after spam injections and backdoor infections. The goal is not only to clean the current issue, but also to close the gap that allowed it in—permissions, outdated components, weak entry points, and proper security scanning afterward. I can begin as soon as access is shared and keep the process structured so you get a clean handoff report at the end. - Do you already have a clean backup available in case any core/theme files need comparison? - Which security plugin, if any, is currently installed on the site?

Hi, Malware cleanup, hardening, two clean scans, and a report — and yes to your offer: SSH plus the date of your last known-good backup would help most. One note on your acceptance criteria. Removing the payload is the easy half; sites get reinfected because a backdoor survives. So I also sweep cron jobs, mu-plugins, wp-config, PHP files hiding in uploads, injected wp_options rows, and unfamiliar admin users, then rotate database, admin, SFTP and salt credentials so old access dies with the cleanup. Browser and search warnings also will not clear on their own once flagged — that needs a review request in Google Search Console after the site is clean, which is why I ask about it below. I work on a staging copy and swap it in, so the live site stays up. 1. Do you have Google Search Console access for the domain? 2. Roughly when did it start — a date helps me tell a clean backup from an infected one. Best regards, Opeyemi 938 characters. Two things here are aimed at the client's acceptance criteria specifically: the backdoor sweep explains why "verified by two scans" isn't the same as staying clean, and the Search Console point flags that "browser warnings cleared" depends on a Google review request they may not have access to — which is also why it's question one rather than a throwaway remark.
