Signs Your Website May Be Compromised
If any of these are happening, get help now
- Google shows "This site may be hacked"
- Visitors are redirected to spam sites
- Your host suspended the account for malware
- Strange popups or injected links
- WordPress admin users you did not create
- A sudden drop in search traffic
Not hacked, just broken? The same help applies when a site fails after an update, has slowed to a crawl, or the developer who built it is gone and nobody knows how it works. Not on WordPress? We handle hacked and broken sites on other platforms too, so reach out either way.

What We Have Found on Hacked Sites
Every cleanup is different, which is why we assess first. A few of the things we have pulled out of client sites:
Redirects hidden in the database
Visitors clicking a membership organization's About page were sent to another site. The redirect was a script inserted into the database, not the theme, so it survived a look through the files.
Code disguised as an image
An association's site redirected every visitor after a moment. The cause was obfuscated PHP saved in the theme's images folder under a favicon file name, loaded from the theme's own index file.
A spam post from a real account
A spam post appeared on a real estate blog under a real author's name. The problem was access, not code: we added a firewall and tightened the login, and the account was given a new password and a role that cannot publish.
After the Cleanup
Most hacked sites were not attacked for who they are. They were running an old plugin that someone scanned for. Once your site is clean, a maintenance plan keeps it patched and watched, with on-call emergency support on the Growth and Enterprise plans.
