Your site got hacked here is what to do in the first hour

Discovering your site is hacked, defaced or flagged by Google is stressful — but a methodical response beats panic every time. Deleting random files often hides the symptom while leaving the backdoor wide open.
Contain then clean
We take the site into maintenance mode, snapshot it for evidence, then scan core, plugins, themes and the database for injected code and unknown admin users. Every infected file is cleaned or replaced from a known-good source.
Close the door and harden
Removing malware is only half the work. We find and seal the entry point, request removal from blacklists, then harden logins, file permissions and add a firewall so the same attack cannot succeed twice.
Cleaning the malware is half the job. Closing the door it came through is the other half.
