Urgent: PrestaShop 1.7.6.5 Malware Removal (Credit Card Skimmer), Security Hardening, Upgrade to PrestaShop 9.x & Migration to secure hosting provider. Project Description: My PrestaShop store (1.7.6.5, ~600 products, low traffic) has been compromised. The site is infected with a “digital skimmer” (a credit card skimmer / Magecart‑type malware) that redirects customers during checkout to a fraudulent payment page. Card payments are disabled, and the shop is in maintenance mode to prevent further harm. The website loads extremely slowly when not in maintenance mode, indicating malicious scripts are present. I need a complete, permanent solution. You must prove you have successfully completed similar PrestaShop security work before (please provide references or portfolio links). I will share the specific malicious domain and technical details with shortlisted candidates after signing a simple NDA. Required Scope of Work (Fixed Price – Not Hourly): Phase 1: Forensic Cleanup & Backdoor Closure -Perform a full server‑wide search (files and database) to locate and completely eradicate ALL malware, backdoors, and injected code. -Close the original entry point used by the hacker (vulnerable module, theme file, etc.) to prevent re‑infection. -Do NOT proceed to Phase 2 until the site is confirmed 100% clean. Phase 2: Secure Upgrade to PrestaShop 9.x -Perform a full, secure upgrade from the current 1.7.6.5 to the latest stable PrestaShop 9.x version on a staging environment first. -Ensure zero data loss for all products (~600), customers, past orders, and all current shop configurations. -Test and adapt the existing theme and all essential modules to be fully compatible with PrestaShop 9.x. Phase 3: Security Hardening (2FA & Final Checks) -After the successful upgrade, install and configure Two‑Factor Authentication (2FA) for all admin/employee accounts. Provide clear instructions for me to use it. -Perform a final security audit of the live site. Phase 4: Complete Site Migration to a Secure Hosting Provider (NexonHost/Axarnet/Etc) -After the site is fully cleaned, upgraded, and secured on the current server, execute a complete migration to a NexonHost / Axarnet / Etc PrestaShop hosting plan (their free migration service, however, the freelancer must coordinate this move and ensure a smooth transition of all files, databases, themes, modules, and configurations). -This migration must be done with minimal downtime and zero data loss. Note: If the freelancer believes a different host is a better fit, they can propose it, but it must offer similar free migration services, security features, perfect combination with Prestashop and 24/7 English support. Project Requirements: -Fixed Price: Provide a fixed, all‑inclusive price in your bid. No hourly billing. -Evidence of Expertise: Include links or references to previous PrestaShop malware removal and upgrade projects. -Communication: Regular updates required at the end of each phase. - Please include your estimated completion time (in days) for the entire project in your bid. Please note: -The live site is currently in maintenance mode, so there is no immediate risk to customers. I am looking for a thorough professional to deliver a permanent, secure result. Thank you. -Bids below €400 will not be considered – only serious freelancers with proven expertise, please.

Hi there, I understand this is urgent: a compromised PrestaShop store with Magecart-style malware, a slow, risky checkout, and a plan to upgrade to PrestaShop 9.x while migrating to a secure host. I will approach this in four tight phases to guarantee a permanent fix and smooth migration, with clear evidence of success before moving to the next phase. Phase 1, Forensic cleanup: I’ll perform a full server and database scan, remove all malware and backdoors, and close the original entry points. I won’t advance to Phase 2 until the site is 100% clean, and I’ll provide verification at every milestone. Phase 2, Secure upgrade: I’ll upgrade from 1.7.6.5 to the latest stable PrestaShop 9.x on a staging environment, preserving all products (≈600), customers, orders, and settings. I’ll test theme and modules for compatibility and minimize downtime. Phase 3, Security hardening: post-upgrade, I’ll enable 2FA for all admin accounts, provide clear usage instructions, and perform a final security audit. Phase 4, Migration to secure hosting: I’ll coordinate a full migration to a recommended hosting plan with a provider offering free migration, 24/7 English support, and strong security. I’ll ensure zero data loss and minimal downtime. I will provide regular updates after each phase and deliver a fixed-price solution with all-inclusive scope.

Hello there, I will clean the skimmer infection, close every backdoor, upgrade your store to PrestaShop 9.x, and migrate the whole setup to your new host — all four phases handled in sequence with sign-off between each. First step: I will diff every core, module, and theme file against known-clean PrestaShop 1.7.6.5 sources and scan the database for obfuscated JavaScript injections — Magecart payloads often hide in `ps_hook_module` entries or CMS content fields, not just filesystem files. Questions: 1) Do you have a clean backup from before the compromise, or will I work solely from the infected state? 2) Which payment module was active when the skimmer appeared — native PrestaShop Checkout or a third-party gateway? Ready to start whenever you are. Kamran

I have strong experience handling compromised e-commerce platforms, malware eradication, security hardening, platform upgrades, and zero-loss migrations, including complex legacy store recoveries. This project needs a forensic-first approach, not a superficial cleanup, and I can handle the full lifecycle: complete malware/backdoor removal, root-cause closure, secure staged upgrade from PrestaShop 1.7 to the latest stable release, compatibility remediation for themes/modules, 2FA enforcement, final security auditing, and coordinated migration to a more secure hosting environment with minimal downtime. Protecting customer data integrity and ensuring the skimmer is permanently eliminated before relaunch would be the top priority. I’m comfortable working under NDA, providing structured phase-by-phase updates, and delivering a thoroughly secured production-ready store.

Hi, this project involves urgent remediation of a compromised PrestaShop instance, combined with a major platform upgrade and migration to secure hosting. The real engineering risk lies in ensuring thorough malware removal without disrupting existing business logic and data integrity during upgrade and migration. I usually structure such interventions by first isolating the compromised environment, performing detailed forensic analysis, and then applying security best practices to harden the system before proceeding with upgrades. While my background is not in PHP or PrestaShop specifically, I have extensive experience in analyzing complex legacy systems and orchestrating migrations with minimal downtime and risk. For this project, I recommend separating the malware removal and security hardening phases from the upgrade and migration to control risk and verify system stability at each step. I can provide a detailed review of the current infection vectors, outline a secure upgrade path, and define a migration plan that prioritizes data integrity and operational continuity. Thanks, Hercules
