Why it happens
Most small business sites are hacked through an out-of-date plugin, theme or a weak password, not because anyone singled them out. Patchstack counted 11,334 new vulnerabilities in the WordPress world in 2025, 91% of them in plugins. Automated bots try every site they can find.
Cleaning the visible damage isn't enough: if the way in is still open, the site gets reinfected within days. We remove the malware, find and close how it got in, reset every password and key, harden the site, and ask Google and your host to review it.
What we fix
- Google shows 'This site may be hacked' or a red warning page
We clean the site, fix the cause and submit it for review in Google Search Console.
- Visitors redirected to spam, adult or scam sites
We find the injected code in files, database and .htaccess, remove it and block it coming back.
- Thousands of spam pages appearing in Google
We remove the spam, return the right errors so Google drops the pages, and clean up the index.
- Host has suspended the account for malware
We clean everything, show the host it's clean and get the account turned back on.
- Unknown admin users or files you didn't add
We remove them, check every account and plugin, and set up two-factor login.

How did my site get hacked?
Usually an outdated plugin or theme with a known flaw, or a reused password. Part of the fix is finding the exact way in, so we can close it.
Will Google remove the warning?
Once the site is clean we request a review in Search Console. Google usually reviews within a few days, and we keep checking until it's lifted.
Has customer data been taken?
We look for signs of data access as part of the clean-up and tell you plainly what we find, so you can decide whether you need to notify anyone.
Can you stop it happening again?
Yes: updates, a firewall, two-factor login, backups and monitoring. We can do this once, or keep it maintained monthly.
