Website Hacked? We Get It Back, Fast.
A hacked website is a website where someone planted code you never put there: casino or pharma spam in your pages, visitors bounced to a scam site, a red Google warning across your homepage, or you locked out of your own login. It is a fixable problem. Send us your URL, we run a free check, and we send you a fixed quote. Then a real person cleans the infection, closes the entry point the attacker used, and gets you back online.
Recovery from Rs 18,000 (about $215). Free check first, fixed quote before any work starts.

Signs your website has been hacked
If any of these are happening, your site is almost certainly compromised and the clock is ticking. The faster you act, the less traffic and trust you lose.
- Spam you never wrote, casino, betting, pharmacy or loan text, is appearing in your pages or footer.
- Visitors get redirected to a scam or spam site, often only on mobile, while your desktop looks fine.
- Google shows a warning on your listing or homepage: this site may be hacked, or a red Deceptive site ahead screen.
- Your host emailed you about a malware detection, or suspended the account and took you offline.
- You are locked out of your own admin, unknown admin users have appeared, or your traffic has suddenly collapsed.
What a hacked website actually is, and where website malware removal happens
Most people picture the wrong thing. The infection is not a virus on your laptop, and no antivirus app on your computer can touch it. It is malicious code living on the server that hosts your website. That is why website malware removal means cleaning files and database entries on the server itself, never scanning your PC.
The infection usually takes one of a few familiar shapes. Attackers inject spam content, often hidden links to casino, pharmacy or loan sites, into your pages so they can ride on your search rankings. They plant redirects that quietly send your mobile visitors to a scam page while you see nothing wrong on desktop. And almost always they leave behind a backdoor: a small hidden file, or a line of code buried in a legitimate-looking script, that lets them walk back in even after you think you have cleaned up. That backdoor is why a quick plugin clean so often fails, it deletes the obvious malware and misses the quiet door. Real recovery removes the malware, the backdoors, and closes the hole they came in through.
A real recovery: Edge Glaze, June 2026
Edge Glaze is a real client whose WordPress site was hit with casino spam: their pages were stuffed with gambling links and Google had started flagging the site. We cleaned the infection, removed the backdoors, and closed the entry point, and they posted a public thank-you afterwards, which you can read at edgeglaze.com/thank-you-apex-influence. The full breakdown of that exact attack, casino spam injected into a WordPress site, is on our flagship page on how we remove AnonymousFox casino spam from WordPress.
Edge Glaze: hacked in May, clean and back online by June
On 9 May 2026 the Internet Archive captured their home page already serving casino spam, and it was still infected when we were engaged in June 2026. With no monitoring in place, a hack can run unnoticed before anyone catches it. The hack is preserved on the public Wayback Machine, so you can check it for yourself. Here it is then, and here it is clean and live today.

How we remove the hack and stop it coming back
Plenty of services delete a few flagged files and call it done. We do not. The whole process is built around one principle: a recovered site is one where the attacker can no longer get back in. Every step exists to find the entry point and close it, not just to scrub the symptoms.
- Free check and diagnosis. You send your URL. We scan the files and database server-side, compare core files against known-good versions, and map exactly what is infected and how far it has spread. Then we send a fixed quote, before any work starts.
- Isolate and protect. We take a safe snapshot, lock down access, and stop the infection from spreading to other sites on the same hosting account while we work.
- Remove the malware and the backdoors. We strip out injected spam, redirects and defacements, then hunt down every backdoor, shell and rogue account the attacker left behind to come back through.
- Close the entry point. This is the step that matters most. We read the logs to find the actual hole, an outdated plugin, a weak password, a vulnerable theme, a stale CMS version, and close it so the same attack cannot succeed again.
- Request the Google review. Once the site is genuinely clean, we submit it to Google Safe Browsing and Search Console for review so the warning is lifted, and we work with your host to clear any malware suspension.
- Harden the site. We update everything, tighten file permissions, remove unused plugins and themes, enforce strong credentials, and add sensible protections so you are a much harder target going forward.
What hacked-site recovery costs
Recovery from Rs 18,000 (about $215); the exact quote depends on your site, we tell you before we start. Every infection is different, so we look at your site first, then send a fixed price. There is no fixed-time or guaranteed-clean promise here, security work varies; what we promise is a clear quote up front and a real person who owns the outcome.
- Standard, from Rs 18,000 (about $215). A single WordPress or small business site with a standard infection.
- Business, from Rs 35,000 (about $420). Larger or more complex sites, WooCommerce stores, Google warning removal, and reinfection cases.
- Enterprise and ecommerce, from Rs 75,000 (about $900). Large or revenue-critical sites, multiple properties, and full forensic recovery with hardening.

Hacked website recovery: common questions
My website is hacked, who fixes it and what should I do first?
Send us your website address for a free check. We confirm what is wrong, then give you a fixed quote before any work starts. The moment you give us access, a real person on our team begins the recovery: we clean the infection, remove the backdoors, and close the entry point. While you wait for us, do not delete files at random or pay any ransom note, and avoid logging in from an infected device. Keep the site as it is so we can read what actually happened and recover it cleanly.
What does website malware removal actually involve?
It means cleaning malicious code off the server that hosts your website, not scanning your laptop. We remove injected spam, malicious redirects and defacements, hunt down every backdoor and rogue account the attacker left behind, and then close the hole they came in through, an outdated plugin, a weak password, or a stale CMS version. Antivirus on your computer cannot touch any of this, because the infection lives on the server.
Will my Google warning be removed?
Once the site is genuinely clean and the entry point is closed, we submit a review request to Google Safe Browsing and Search Console. Google then re-scans the site and, when it confirms the site is clean, lifts the warning and the red interstitial. We do not request the review until we are confident nothing will be flagged again.
What kinds of websites and servers do you recover?
WordPress, custom PHP, Laravel and CodeIgniter sites, e-commerce stores on WooCommerce, Magento and OpenCart, and static sites that share a server. We work on shared cPanel hosts such as HostGator and Hostinger, and on VPS and dedicated servers. If your site runs on a server we can reach, we can recover it.
How much does hacked-site recovery cost?
Recovery is priced per case. The exact quote depends on the size of the site, the type of infection, and how many properties are affected, so we look at your site first and tell you the price before we start. As a rough guide: pricing is scoped to the size of the site, the type of infection, and how many properties are involved. Send us your domain and we send a fixed quote with the free check.
Why not just use a security plugin or a free scanner?
A scanner can often tell you that you are infected, and a plugin may delete some flagged files. But automated tools rarely find every backdoor, and they almost never close the hole the attacker used to get in. That is why infections cleaned by a plugin so often come back within days. A human recovery traces the entry point, removes every backdoor, and closes the door so it stays closed.
Do you work with businesses outside India?
Yes. We are based in Bengaluru and we work with clients across India and worldwide. Site infections and Google warnings work the same way everywhere, and a server is reachable from anywhere, so location is not a barrier. Indian clients are billed in INR; global clients are quoted accordingly.
How do you stop the same hack coming back?
We do not just delete the visible malware. We read the access logs, trace how the attacker actually got in, and close that specific entry point, an outdated plugin, a weak password, a vulnerable theme, or a stale CMS version. We then update everything, tighten file permissions, remove unused plugins and themes, and enforce strong credentials so the site is a much harder target. After you are clean, our Secure plan keeps watch so it does not happen again.
Once you are clean, keep it that way
The hardest moment to get hacked is right after you thought you were safe. Once we hand back a clean site, our Secure plan at Rs 6,000 (about $72)/mo keeps watch: ongoing monitoring, regular backups, and priority cleanup if anything is ever flagged again. It is the easiest way to make sure you never feel that cold drop in your stomach twice. Edge Glaze had no monitoring, which is exactly why their hack ran unnoticed; see all our website security plans.
