You’re probably in a panic, but that’s not helpful, so try to relax! But you need to act quickly to prevent further damage.

Your three biggest questions are probably:

• “How bad is it?”
• “How long will it take to fix?”
• “What will it cost?”

You will also want to know what your options are and what the odds are that it will happen again.

Let’s get started.

How Do I Know if My Site Has Been Hacked?

There are many symptoms of a hacked website, including content changed to promote black market products or hate speech. One of the latest viruses will hold your website hostage until you pay a ransom, of then $2,000 or more! You may not be able to control your site. Your site may be infecting your visitors’ computers with a virus. Sometimes hackers will simply make your site send visitors to another site.

In some cases your web hosting company will contact you about the amount of disk space or the amount of bandwidth you’re using.

You may be losing money while your site is down. Your search engine rankings might take a hit. You may be liable for the actions of the hackers.

How to Repair a Hacked WordPress Site

It usually takes more than simply restoring your site from backups because that doesn’t identify how your website security was breached in the first place. Hackers can gain access to your site in many ways, from using automated tools to find your password to exploiting vulnerabilities of the server the site is hosted or the plugins that are being used on your site.

Fixing a hacked website is bad enough. Fixing it over and over steals precious time and money! To do it right requires the following steps:

1. Regain control of your site.
2. Secure it from further intrusion.
3. Delete unwanted content.
4. Restore the proper content.
5. Monitor the site to prevent further abuse.

Getting control of your site isn’t always easy. Hackers will sometimes try and lock you out! There are dozens of ways for determined hackers to take over a site!

Second, you must determine how the site was hacked, then look for any sneaky “back doors” that have been set up for future use. (We see this frequently) Automated tools are rarely effective because the hackers usually operate in a stealthy environment.

Third, delete the unwanted content, both visible and not. This can be very time-consuming for certain hacks.

Restore your site with correct information. Sometimes you can restore your site from a backup, but many times the breach goes back farther than your most recent backup. Restoring even simple sites can take hours of work.

Scan your computer(s) for virus’. Sometimes the hacker uses your computer to mess you up.

Finally, you should consider having your site professionally monitored and updated, as needed. Click here for options.

How Our WordPress Malware Removal and Cleanup Works

Unlike some lower-cost alternatives, we don't just run a quick script to delete or disable malicious code only to have the hidden hacker files re-infect your site later. Our team of U.S. based professionals thoroughly examine your site file by file. We find the cause and remove any malware or viruses, and fix any known vulnerabilities on your site.

Then we upgrade your WordPress core files, database, plugins, and themes to the latest stable version. And to help keep the hackers from breaking back into your website, we upgrade the security using state-of-the-art technology and best practices.

And if the search engines are blocking your website, we take care of that for you as well. When your website is cleaned of malware and restored, we'll send you a detailed report.
