How do I know if my site has been hacked?
Search Google for site:yourdomain.com. If pages you never made show up, in other languages or about casinos and pharmacies, it almost certainly has. Other signs: the site sends you elsewhere when you open it on your phone, Google or your host sends you a warning, or your emails start landing in spam.
Can you fix a site you didn't build?
Yes, that's the usual case. With access to the hosting and the WordPress admin we can see how it's built, even with no documentation.
What access do you need?
The hosting (cPanel or your provider's panel), the WordPress admin and, if DNS or email need work, the domain. If nobody has the passwords, we help you recover them with your provider.
Will I lose content?
No. The first step is a full backup, and we only remove what the attacker added. If there's a backup from before the hack, we use it to compare.
When does the spam disappear from Google?
The fake pages stop existing as soon as we clean the site. Then we ask Google to review it again, and it takes a few weeks to drop them from its results.
How long does it take?
It depends on how much damage there is. The urgent part, getting the site back online and free of spam, comes first, and we finish the rest after that.
What if my site isn't WordPress?
We take those too. Most rescues are WordPress, but we work with other systems and with custom-built sites, for example in PHP, Drupal or Nuxt.
Can it happen again?
It can, if the site goes without updates again. That's why we close the ways the attacker used, bring everything up to date, check it again after 30 days and, if you like, stay in charge with a monthly plan.
Does the diagnostic cost anything?
No. We go through the site, send you a short report with what we found and how we'd fix it, and confirm the price. You only pay if you decide to go ahead with the cleanup.
How much does it cost?
Cleaning a WordPress site costs CLP 100,000 + VAT, a fixed price. It covers removing the spam and injected code, deleting the fake accounts, updating everything, changing the passwords and asking Google to review the site. If we find something bigger, we quote it before going on.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. 30 days after the cleanup we check the site again, and if the same problem is back, we clean it again at no cost. It doesn't cover new problems, such as a plugin installed later or a password someone shares.
