01The Problem
A compromise is urgent — and easy to mishandle.
Quick patches without root-cause work leave backdoors in place. Search engines and hosts may keep blocking you even after visible symptoms disappear.
Hidden persistence
Malware reinfects because injected files, cron jobs, or database payloads were missed.
Blacklist warnings
Browsers and search consoles flag your domain — traffic and trust drop immediately.
Exposed credentials
Admin, FTP, and database passwords may already be for sale on automated attacks.
Bad restores
Rolling back to a backup that still contains the compromise wastes time and data.
Unknown entry point
Without tracing how attackers got in, the same plugin or weak access gets hit again.
Business downtime
Every hour offline costs revenue, leads, and reputation — especially for ecommerce.
02Our Approach
Contain, clean, verify, harden.
We stabilize access, remove malicious code, validate cleanliness, restore from known-good state when needed, and close the gaps that allowed the breach.
Triage
Scope symptoms, hosting status, and immediate containment.
Scan & isolate
File and database review; take site offline if required.
Clean or restore
Surgical removal or rebuild from verified clean backup.
Verify
Re-scan, test key flows, and confirm no known payloads remain.
Harden & review
Patches, access reset, WAF rules, and plain post-incident notes.
03What We Deliver
Recovery work we perform.
Focused on WordPress and common LAMP/LEMP stacks.
Clean backup restore
When removal is unsafe or faster, restore files and database from a pre-incident point — after verifying the backup is clean.
RestoreDRDBBlacklist & warning remediation
Guidance and technical fixes to clear Safe Browsing and similar warnings after the site is verified clean.
Safe BrowsingSEOReputationSecurity hardening
Updates, least-privilege access, basic WAF/CDN rules, and configuration hygiene matched to your host.

06Why Codereyes
Why Codereyes for hacked site recovery.
Calm, methodical work when the situation is not.
Clean-first mindset
We would rather prove a restore is clean than rush a cosmetic fix that leaves backdoors.
Documented steps
You receive a clear picture of what we found, removed, and changed — not a black box.
App + server coordination
When compromise spans hosting, we can align with server management and hosting support.
Path to ongoing care
Recovery can transition into website maintenance or technical support to reduce repeat risk.
Direct communication
Status updates in plain language during high-stress incidents.
Least privilege
We request only the access needed for recovery and recommend tightening afterward.
07Process
Typical recovery timeline.
Exact duration depends on severity, backups, and hosting constraints.
Contact
Share symptoms, URLs, and hosting details.
Access
