Time is Critical
Time is critical when your website has been hacked, as malicious files are complex and tend to spread and get worse over time. Once the website has been hacked, you risk downtime, that your visitors are redirected to scammy websites, blacklisting from Google, damage rankings in search engines and loss of reputation and revenue.
That’s why our response team is always ready when you most need it to clean and repair your website.
“As soon as you give us the ”green light“ we will immediately start to clean and repair your website.
Our chat support is open 24/7/365. The last thing you need when your site is hacked is having to deal with a support being unresponsive and unhelpful. We strive to be the opposite.”

Words from the CEO of OptiCred
Warning: Risks in Website Hack Recovery
- Be cautious of firms offering unrealistically cheap cleanups.
- Avoid free online malware checkers, that tend to give false results and register your site to scam databases.
- Be cautious of firms that promote their service by showing thousands of testimonials from victims. Real victims of hacking want to be anonymous.
Consequences of Inadequate Cleanup
- Hidden backdoors leading to reinfection.
- Google penalties and security warnings.
- Risk of being flagged as a repeat malware offender.
Our Approach
- Comprehensive, accurate server and application scanning.
- Avoidance of automated plugin solutions.
- Expert-driven, manual malware cleanup.
Read on if you want to get into the details of the insight I want to share:
If your website is hacked you need to be aware that not all security firms you find on Google are looking for your best interest.
Be aware of websites that offer unrealistic cheap cleanups for only a couple of hundred dollars. Most of the time we see that they don’t perform a proper cleanup, leaving your website with hidden backdoors for reinfection that can lead to Google penalties that display warnings for your visitors, long-term revenue loss, and damaged credibility.
Most offer free clean-ups in case of reinfections, but you face the bad consequences anyway because if there is even a single trace of malware on your site, Google will reject your review application, and you might be flagged as a repeat offender. Sites considered repeat malware offenders by Google won’t be able to contest security warnings shown in Chrome for 30 days.
We also recommend avoiding free website malware checkers as they tend to give false results and register your site to scam databases.
Hosting companies often rely too heavily on automated scanning tools, as they are not cyber security specialists. These often tend to only clean the visible parts of the hack, leaving hidden malware and backdoors.
It’s proved that security plugins and malware scanners that operate as plugins within a compromised WordPress environment are fundamentally undermined. An already compromised environment can not be trusted to analyze itself. That’s why we strongly recommend to stay away from automated plugin solutions.
Our holistic approach to malware cleanup will analyze your site with deep server and application scanning, that gives accurate and reliable results. Then a security specialist will perform a manual cleanup, to ensure all malware is completely removed from your website.
How to Verify if You’re Hacked?
Malware that infects websites by redirecting users to other sites is one of the malware types that affects most websites. This type of malware is designed to be difficult to detect by having smart triggers that enable the redirect only a few times per user and sometimes from only certain types of browsers and devices. This often extends the discovery time for websites without routines in place to regularly scan for malware.
Typical signs that the site is infected with malware:
- Content has been littered with SEO spam
- Google or browsers show alert you that your site is compromised.
- The website is redirecting your visitors to inappropriate or insecure websites.
- Loss of content
- Serving unauthorized ads
- Your host has suspended your site
- Suddenly slow loading time
- Suddenly removed from Google’s search
Utilizing a sophisticated website malware scanner that scans and analyze our website at a deep level, we provide prompt malware detection and response times, ensuring your website security is robust and responsive.
Website Hacking Isn’t A Mystery
Hacking doesn’t happen using some sort of magic. It’s done with malicious intent and purpose. Without protection all kind of malicious traffic will be able to reach your site.
Here are the 4 common ways hackers use to gain control of your website:
- Bots and automated scrips that repeatedly try to guess for the correct usernames and passwords.
- Automated bots that scans your website for new vulnerabilities and outdated software.
- By phishing and malware insertion on your computer to fetch the credientials of your website.
- Malware in a hacked website that is programmed to reinfect other websites with the same shared-server. Note: It’s better to avoid cheap hosting providers as you’ll get what you’ve paid for.
Avoid Being Hacked Again
Take the necessary precautions against reinfection
Our experience shows that a previously hacked website is at higher risk of future attacks. This is often because bots ‘tag’ such sites as easy targets, making them more vulnerable to repeated breaches. Being proactive about your site’s security is crucial to prevent this cycle.
Our platform uses an advanced multi-layer approach against modern cyber threats. Our first layer of defense is Cloudflare’s industry-leading enterprise-grade Web Application Firewall (WAF) that blocks cyber threats before they even reach your website. It efficiently provides a first line of defense to block malicious traffic and protect website owners from advanced cyber threats. In addition to Cloudflare’s robust perimeter security, we use advanced technology to monitor and protect your website from within, offering virtual patching of vulnerabilities 48 hours before they go public, comprehensive website hardening techniques, and continuous malware scanning. This is crucial for maintaining the integrity and security of your WordPress site.
