Hacked site, any PHP stack, back under your control
Laravel, Magento, OpenCart, CodeIgniter or hand-written PHP. We contain the incident, clean it, find how they got in, close it, and leave the site harder to hit than before. WordPress sites have a dedicated malware removal service.
- 300+ migrations, zero data loss
- Core Web Vitals in the green
- 24/7 emergency cover
-
Containment within the hour
Suspicious processes stopped, credentials rotated, the site fenced off if it is actively serving malware. Triage starts the hour you reach us.
-
Forensic clean-up
Every file compared against known-good sources, injected code and backdoors removed, the database checked for planted admins and redirects.
-
Root cause, in writing
The outdated component, exposed endpoint or leaked credential that let them in, named plainly so it does not happen again.
-
Hardening
File permissions, WAF rules, authentication, dependency updates and server configuration tightened, with each change explained.
-
Blocklist removal and monitoring
Google Safe Browsing and hosting flags lifted, then file integrity and uptime monitoring so a repeat is caught early.
What we secure
The same discipline as our WordPress security work, applied to whatever your site is built on.
Laravel and Symfony
Composer dependencies, exposed debug modes, storage permissions, queue workers and the .env file that should never have been readable.
Magento, OpenCart and PrestaShop
Card skimmers in checkout JavaScript, compromised extensions, admin URL exposure and the payment flow itself.
Custom and legacy PHP
Injection points in hand-written code, outdated PHP versions, file upload handling and the includes nobody has looked at in years.
Servers and hosting
SSH keys, cron jobs, cPanel or Plesk accounts, and neighbouring sites on the same account that were the real way in.
Credentials and access
Who has access, to what, from where. We rotate everything and set up two-factor and least privilege as part of the clean-up.
Ongoing protection
Patching cadence, WAF tuning and quarterly review as a retainer, for sites that cannot afford a second incident.
Incident work is different from project work
It does not wait for a proposal, and it ends with a report you can hand to your insurer or your board.
Fast start
Triage within the hour, work through until the site is clean. Scope and price confirmed while we contain, not before.
Evidence kept
Logs, hashes and timelines preserved before anything is changed, in case you need them later.
No blame, plain language
A clear account of what happened and what changed, written for the person who has to explain it upstream.
What people ask before they start
Something not covered here? Ask us directly and an engineer will answer.
Ask a questionBecause the incident is the same regardless of framework: find the entry point, remove what was planted, close the hole, prove it is clean. Our engineers are PHP engineers first, and the tooling for file comparison, log analysis and hardening does not care which framework wrote the files.
We triage within the hour of you reaching us and work the incident until the site is clean and back up. Emergency work does not wait for a proposal.
Not if the entry point is closed, which is why root cause is part of the job rather than an optional extra. We also set up monitoring so that if something does change, you know the same day.
Yes. Getting the Google warning lifted, telling customers what happened if card data was involved, and documenting the incident for insurance or compliance are all things we have done before.
