Trust Safety
WPGuardix is focused on hacked WordPress sites that need diagnosis, cleanup, verification, and a documented handoff, not generic agency packaging.
The scope stays centered on incident response: understand what happened, remove the malicious payloads, close the reinfection path, verify the site state, and hand back documented next steps.

Process Preview
01
We review the URL, the issue summary, and the urgency so the first reply is specific, not generic.
02
We confirm what is infected, how it is behaving, and where the likely reinfection path sits.
03
We remove the malicious payloads and remediate the root cause instead of only hiding the visible symptom.
04
We document findings, actions taken, current status, and the next steps that reduce future risk.
Proof
ANONYMIZED RESULT
A real WordPress reinfection investigation where WPGuardix confirmed an unauthorized administrator compromise indicator and a contaminated historical backup artifact, then documented the safest cleanup and recovery path without exposing client-identifying details.
Situation
The site owner had already gone through reinstall, password-change, restore, and scan activity, but reinfection concerns continued. WPGuardix treated the case as a root-cause and reinfection-risk investigation instead of a simple malware cleanup, preserving evidence before recommending remediation steps.
What was found
The investigation confirmed an unauthorized administrator-level compromise indicator and a malicious fake plugin artifact inside a historical backup archive. The current live plugin directory did not show the fake plugin as active, but the contaminated backup evidence showed that restoring unverified backups could reintroduce compromise after cleanup.
What was done
WPGuardix reviewed the WordPress filesystem, database user/capability records, plugin and theme state, uploads, configuration files, WordPress cron data, visible hosting scheduled tasks, access-log evidence, Wordfence/WAF configuration, and historical backup artifacts. The unauthorized admin finding and contaminated-backup risk were documented before remediation decisions so the client could remove unsafe access and avoid restoring contaminated backups.
The client received a clear remediation plan: remove unauthorized administrator access after evidence preservation, reset privileged credentials, regenerate WordPress salts, avoid restoring contaminated backups, scan backups before future restore, keep uploads execution blocked, keep file editing disabled, rerun security scanning after cleanup, and monitor for new administrator creation.
Turnaround: Root-cause report delivered after evidence review
ANONYMIZED RESULT
A real WordPress root-cause investigation where WPGuardix identified post-compromise backup contamination risk, completed evidence-first cleanup and hardening actions, and honestly documented remaining validation blockers before final go-live.
Situation
The client reported a WordPress compromise, a prior remediation attempt, and later reinfection concerns. WPGuardix investigated the current site state, database, backups, administrator/user evidence, plugin and theme state, uploads, cron/persistence context, server-log evidence, and hosting limitations.
What was found
The strongest supported reinfection-risk path was a post-compromise database backup that was not safe to use as a clean restore point. Current reviewed evidence did not confirm active administrator persistence, active malicious plugin persistence, active database payloads, or executable payloads in uploads, but the backup contamination risk was treated as a serious recovery threat.
What was done
WPGuardix preserved the unsafe backup as evidence, removed it from the live restore path, reviewed current administrator/user state, reviewed database payload and persistence indicators, checked plugin/theme/uploads/config evidence, completed hardening documentation, disabled WordPress file editing, verified uploads execution protection, and documented remaining validation blockers.
Major risk-reduction actions were completed from reviewed evidence, including unsafe backup handling and configuration hardening. Final go-live was intentionally not overclaimed because storage, scan reliability, and clean-backup validation still required follow-up before release.
Turnaround: Investigation, cleanup documentation, and hardening report completed with validation limitations
