11+ Years Experience

Hi, I'm Peter.

If your WordPress site has been hacked, is redirecting visitors to spam sites, or is showing pharmacy and casino pages in Google, you need a proper cleanup, not just a scan.

I'm a Melbourne-based WordPress security specialist. I remove malware, eliminate backdoors, and harden WordPress to stop reinfection. I work with businesses across Australia and internationally.

I have cleaned hacked WordPress sites for clients in every Australian state and territory — Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the ACT, and the Northern Territory.

This is hands-on work. I investigate how the hack happened, remove everything the attacker left behind, and fix the entry point so the same vulnerability can't be exploited again.

Common Signs Your WordPress Site Has Been Hacked

If you are seeing any of these, treat it as an active compromise.

Visitors are redirected to random websites, sometimes only on mobile or only for Google traffic
You see strange pages in Google results (pharmacy spam, casino spam, Japanese keyword spam)
Your hosting provider sent a malware alert or suspended your site
Chrome shows "Deceptive site ahead" or "This site may harm your computer"
New WordPress admin users appear that you did not create
Your traffic dropped suddenly, or your ads were disapproved due to malicious content

Check Your Website in Google Search

Enter your website URL below and I'll generate the exact search query to show every page Google has indexed for your site.

This helps you spot spam SEO or hacked pages that may be appearing in search results.

The WordPress Malware Removal Process

Most cleanups fail because the cause is never fixed. My process focuses on removing the infection and stopping it from coming back.

Identify the infection

1. Infection Identification & Entry Point

I confirm what's infected and how the hack happened, for example an outdated plugin, a vulnerable theme, weak admin security, stolen logins, or compromised hosting access. Fixing the entry point is critical, otherwise reinfection is common.

Remove Malware

2. Remove Malware & Backdoors

I remove malicious code and anything designed to maintain access to your site. This includes hidden backdoors, WordPress redirect hacks, injected database content, and tampered core files, plugins, or themes.

Secure WordPress

3. Patch & Secure WordPress

Once the site is clean, I apply practical WordPress security hardening to make repeat issues far less likely. This typically includes safe updates, tightening admin access, removing suspicious users, and closing off common attack paths without breaking your website.

4. Google Recovery

(If your site is flagged)

If Google is showing warnings or spam SEO pages are indexed, I help you clean up the cause and guide you through recovery. This includes what to check in Google Search Console and how to request a review when needed.

What I Check And What I Work With

Every hacked WordPress site is different, but these are the common areas I review during a cleanup.

• WordPress Core and Theme Files

I run integrity checks against known clean versions of WordPress core to identify files that have been modified or added by an attacker. Theme files are also a common injection point, particularly in functions.php, where malicious code can hide alongside legitimate customisations.

• wp-content: Plugins, Themes, and Uploads

The wp-content directory is where most malware hides. Attackers frequently drop PHP shells inside the uploads folder or inject code into plugin files. Nulled plugins and themes are a particularly common entry point for this type of infection.

• The WordPress Database

Database injections are common in spam SEO hacks and WordPress redirect hacks. I check for injected JavaScript, spam links in post content, rogue admin users, and modified option values like siteurl or home that attackers use to silently redirect traffic.

• wp-config.php and .htaccess

A modified .htaccess is one of the most common sources of mobile-only or Google-only redirects, where the site looks fine to you but sends visitors to spam destinations. Tampering with wp-config.php can expose database credentials or create persistent backdoor access.

• Admin Users and Access Patterns

I check for unknown administrator accounts, suspicious user roles, and recent logins from unexpected locations. Rogue admin users are a common persistence mechanism that allows attackers to regain access even after a surface-level cleanup.

• Hosting Access

Depending on your setup (cPanel, Plesk, SFTP, or phpMyAdmin) I work at the file and database level directly, rather than relying solely on WordPress admin access. This matters when the infection has locked you out or when malware is hiding outside the WordPress install itself.

WordPress Malware Removal Melbourne

Melbourne businesses often come to me after their hosting provider (SiteGround, VentraIP, Hostinger, Bluehost, etc.) has sent a malware alert or suspended the account. If that's happened to you, the quickest path forward is to get the site cleaned properly rather than waiting on host support queues.

If your Melbourne business website has been hacked, a fast and thorough cleanup protects not just your site but your customers and your Google rankings. Every hour an infected site stays live, it risks further damage to your search visibility and customer trust.

Hire Me To Remove Your Malware Now

If your WordPress site is hacked, the quickest way to start is to pay for the service now.

After payment, you'll be redirected to a thank you page and you'll receive an email requesting the access details I need to begin.

Once I have access, I'll investigate the infection and how the site was compromised, then proceed with the cleanup and WordPress security hardening.

Note: If your site is currently live and infected, every hour it stays online can impact customers and Google trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most WordPress malware cleanups are completed within 1 to 2 business days once I have the right access. More severe infections, broken sites, or restricted hosting access can take longer. I'll tell you early if your case looks complex.

Yes. This service is WordPress-only. That focus matters because WordPress infections often involve specific patterns across plugins, themes, wp-content, and the database.

Reinfection usually happens when a backdoor was missed or the entry point was never fixed. Common causes include a vulnerable plugin or theme, a compromised admin login, a compromised hosting account, or hidden malicious code designed to restore access.

Security plugins can help detect issues and reduce risk, but they are not a complete cleanup on their own. A proper cleanup is removing the infection and addressing the root cause so reinfection is far less likely.

Yes. Redirect malware is common and it can live in files, the database, or both. The fix depends on where it was injected and how it is triggered, sometimes only on mobile or for Google traffic.

Yes. Spam SEO often adds unwanted pages or content that only shows up in Google. I remove the cause, clean the injected content, and guide you on the best next steps in Google Search Console.

Yes. Once the site is cleaned and secured, I can guide you through the recovery steps. This typically involves checking Google Search Console and requesting a review where applicable.

No. Nobody can honestly guarantee that. What I can do is remove the current infection, close obvious entry points, and apply practical WordPress security hardening to significantly reduce risk.

Yes. With WooCommerce, the priority is restoring the site safely while preserving orders and getting checkout working normally again.

Often yes, as long as we can access hosting, files, or the database. Once you purchase the service, reply to the email with what access you still have and what you are seeing.

Typically WordPress admin access plus hosting access (cPanel, Plesk, SFTP, or phpMyAdmin). The exact access depends on your setup. If you are not sure, tell me who your host is and what you can access.

Where it is safe to do so, yes. Updates are often part of fixing the entry point. If an update risks breaking the site, I'll flag it and explain the safest path forward.

If the host account or server access is compromised, cleanup may require changing hosting passwords, rotating SFTP/SSH credentials, and sometimes working with the host to isolate the account. I'll tell you what needs to change based on what I find.

A backup is helpful, especially if the site is unstable. If you do not have one, I'll advise the safest approach based on your hosting and the current state of the site.
