My WordPress site has been compromised by malicious code injections that now affect the entire installation—from the front-end pages to the back-end files and database. I need every trace of this malware removed, along with any spam or otherwise unwanted posts it may have generated, so the site can run cleanly and securely again. You’ll be working with the live WordPress environment, so a safe workflow (staging copy or maintenance window) is essential. Standard security tools such as WP-CLI, Wordfence, Sucuri, or your preferred scanners are welcome as long as they catch all file-level and database-level infections. Scope of work and acceptance criteria • Identify every injected snippet or malicious file across core, themes, plugins, uploads, and the database. • Clean or replace infected assets, purge rogue content, and confirm no hidden backdoors remain. • Remove spam/unwanted posts or comments created during the breach. • Update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to their latest safe versions and disable or delete anything unused or suspicious. • Harden login, permissions, and configuration settings to reduce future risk. • Provide a concise cleanup report outlining findings, actions taken, and security recommendations. • Final scan must return a clean bill of health with no warnings from hosting or Google Safe Browsing. Please tell me how soon you can start and your experience removing site-wide malicious code injections.

Hello, I can fully clean your WordPress site from the malicious code injections and bring it back to a safe, stable state—removing infections at both the file level and database level, while hardening it against future attacks ?⚡. My approach: Initial audit: Scan the core, theme, plugin, uploads, and database tables using WP-CLI and security scanners (Wordfence/Sucuri/Imunify). Deep cleanup: Identify and remove injected snippets, malicious files, hidden backdoors, and spam posts/comments. Replace corrupted core/theme/plugin files with safe versions. Update & secure: Upgrade WordPress core, plugins, and themes to latest safe releases; disable/delete unused or suspicious components. Hardening: Tighten file permissions, disable file editing in wp-admin, secure wp-config, and strengthen login protections. Validation: Run a final security scan to confirm clean status, ensuring no warnings from your host or Google Safe Browsing. Report: Deliver a concise document with findings, actions taken, and practical recommendations for ongoing security. I’m experienced in handling site-wide malware infections and can start promptly with a safe workflow (either staging or live under maintenance). I need to share a few samples from my portfolio with you. Are you available for a quick chat?

Hi, This is Elias from Miami. I’ve gone through the project details, and from what I understand, the goal is to completely remove malicious code injections from your WordPress site — covering front-end, back-end files, and database — while eliminating any spam posts or rogue content, and hardening the site for future security. I have over 10 years of experience securing and cleaning WordPress sites affected by malware, including thorough file and database scans, removal of backdoors, and implementing long-term hardening measures. I use tools like WP-CLI, Wordfence, and Sucuri, combined with manual auditing to ensure nothing is missed. I also maintain safe workflows using staging environments to avoid impacting live users. I’d love the opportunity to restore your site fully and provide a detailed report of findings, actions, and recommendations to prevent future breaches. Additionally, I have a few specific questions: Q1: Are there any custom themes or plugins with proprietary code that require special handling during the cleanup? Q2: Do you have an existing backup from before the breach, or should I work entirely from the current live environment? Q3: After cleanup, do you want me to implement ongoing monitoring or just provide guidance for your internal team? Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards.
