When a Droylsden website gets hacked
Most owners find out second-hand. A customer mentions the site sent them to a betting page, the host emails about spam leaving the account, or Chrome shows a red warning screen. Often the site looks normal when you check it, because the malicious code only fires for visitors arriving from Google on a phone.
A takeaway can lose orders while its ordering page is blocked. A care provider collects enquiries from families and job applicants, so a tampered form is a data protection worry as well as a technical one; we follow published ICO guidance, and you should take advice for your own situation.
Our clean-up follows the approach of our WordPress malware removal team in Manchester: work from evidence, remove every backdoor rather than the obvious file, then shut the route the attacker used.
Getting help without leaving the premises
Almost all of this work is remote, which is the fastest way to begin. We need hosting or SFTP access and a WordPress admin login, passed to us securely, and we keep you updated by phone, email or WhatsApp. When you want to see what we found, we share our screen and go through it together.
If you would rather talk it over face to face, come to our office in M8 or ask us to visit by arrangement. The road trip out to you takes about 15 to 25 minutes on the A662 or via the M60, subject to traffic.
How we clean an infected site
Copy everything as found
We take a full copy of the files and database before changing anything, so evidence and content are both preserved.
Scan and compare
WP-CLI verifies core files against official WordPress checksums, and we diff every plugin and theme against a fresh download of the matching release.
Remove the infection
Malicious scripts, spam posts, unknown administrator logins, tampered database rows and PHP files hidden among your uploads are all taken out.
Change every credential
WordPress, hosting, SFTP and database passwords are reset, and fresh security keys go into wp-config.php so every session is logged out.
Close the entry point
Server logs and version history show how the attacker arrived, and the vulnerable plugin, theme or setting is updated, replaced or removed.
Clear search warnings
Where Google flagged the site, we ask it to recheck through the Security issues report and follow the status with you.
What the clean-up leaves you with
- A written report of what was found and what was removed
- The likely way in, plus the change made to close it
- WordPress core, plugins and themes updated, with abandoned plugins replaced
- New passwords for every account and regenerated security keys
- Two-factor login on admin accounts and a configured firewall plugin
- A fresh, clean backup stored away from the web server
Signs your WordPress site may be infected
- Google results for your domain showing Japanese or pharmacy text you never wrote.
- Phone visitors redirected to other sites while the desktop version looks fine.
- Admin users, or password reset emails, that nobody in the business recognises.
- New PHP files inside wp-content/uploads, a folder meant only for images and documents.
- Your host suspending the account or warning about outgoing spam.
Once the site is clean, ongoing WordPress maintenance keeps updates and backups under control, and a website security audit is worth considering for a wider look at the site.
Frequently asked questions
Can you start on our Droylsden site without coming out to us?
Yes. Once you share hosting and WordPress access, we can begin from our office without waiting for a visit. If you cannot find your hosting login, we can help you recover it. A meeting at your premises or ours can follow later.
We run a care service in Droylsden. What about personal data held on the site?
We look at what your forms collect, where submissions are stored and whether any of that was exposed or altered, and we write it up clearly. Any decision to report is yours, so we suggest checking the ICO’s published guidance and taking advice for your situation. We can supply the technical detail you need.
Our site was cleaned before and the hack came back. Why?
Reinfection usually means a backdoor was missed or the original weakness was never fixed. Deleting the obvious file leaves hidden scripts, rogue admin users or an outdated plugin in place, and the attacker simply returns. Comparing every file against known-good copies avoids that.
Will we lose pages or orders during the clean-up?
We copy everything before we begin, so nothing is lost even if a file has to be removed. Legitimate pages, products and orders stay in place. We tell you before taking the site offline, if that becomes necessary.
