• Post-clean verification report - What was found, what we fixed, and what hosting or plugin risk remains.

Serving Footscray, Victoria & surrounds

Footscray’s mix of dense high-street retail, multicultural food precincts, student and strata housing, and light-industrial / freight-adjacent businesses means a compromised WordPress site hits real revenue fast—online menus, booking forms, and B2B catalogues cannot sit offline through a Friday market rush or a mid-week dispatch window. We work remotely-first across metro Melbourne and can coordinate with your host or local IT when on-site access to office gear is needed. Nearby operators in West Footscray and Yarraville use the same clean-and-harden workflow when infection spreads from shared agencies or outdated builders.

• Barkly Street and Nicholson Street retailers whose sites redirect shoppers or inject spam after a cheap plugin update
• Warehouse and trade suppliers near the Maribyrnong corridor with catalogue WordPress installs hit by SEO spam during freight-heavy weeks
• Remote clean preferred; optional coordinated access when your team is on-site in Footscray strata offices or shared workspaces

How We Work

1. Step 1: Reach Out - Tell us the symptoms (blacklists, redirects, odd admins, Google Safe Browsing warnings). We listen first and confirm access paths without jargon overload.
2. Step 2: Tailored Plan - Fixed-scope quote for the clean tier you need—single site rescue through full harden-and-monitor—plus clear timelines for live or staging work.
3. Step 3: We Deliver - Remote infrastructure-grade cleanup: quarantine risky plugins, remove malware, repair core, purge the database, and restore legitimate content where possible.
4. Step 4: Confirm & Follow-up - Plain-English handoff, blacklist resubmit guidance, and optional maintenance so Footscray traffic keeps landing on a clean site.

Expert Insights: What Most People Get Wrong

Based on 12+ years of WordPress incident response, here are the critical mistakes I see clients make—and how I fix them:

• Deleting only the obvious infected PHP file - Attackers almost always leave a second-stage loader in uploads, a must-use plugin, or a one-line include in an otherwise legitimate theme file. We run multi-pass comparisons against clean core/plugin hashes and hunt for base64/gzinflate chains, not just AV signatures.
• Restoring from a backup taken after the breach window - A Footscray café site we cleaned had “good” nightly backups that already contained a rogue wp-cron PHP dropper. Good looks like verifying backup integrity against pre-incident timestamps and clean package checksums; bad looks like rolling back and celebrating while the dropper rewrites index.php at 3 a.m.
• Ignoring the database and user table - File-only cleans miss option_value spam, injected JavaScript in post_content, and silent administrator accounts named like “wpsupport_update”. We dump and inspect wp_options, usermeta, and posts for encoded payloads before declaring the site clean.
• Leaving salts, FTP, and host panel passwords unchanged - If the attacker had file write, they likely exfiltrated wp-config. Immediately after clean: rotate all WordPress salts/keys, force password resets for every admin, revoke unused application passwords, and change hosting/SFTP credentials. You can start that rotation today even before we finish the file pass.
