Hacked, flagged by Google or just worried? Our senior developers remove the malware, close the hole that let it in and harden your WordPress site so it stays clean. You talk to the people doing the work, not a ticket queue.
WordPress security services protect a WordPress site from attacks and clean it up when something goes wrong. That covers malware removal and hacked site repair, finding and closing the weakness that let attackers in, clearing Google and browser warnings, and hardening the site with updates, a firewall, stronger logins and backups. Mint Media's developers clean infected WordPress sites by hand, explain what happened, and keep them protected with monitoring and maintenance.
Strange redirects, spam pages in Google, a warning from your host or a red screen in Chrome. It is stressful, but it is fixable. Tell us what you are seeing and mark the request as urgent.
We back up the site as it is, reset access and, if needed, put up a maintenance page so visitors are not exposed.
We remove malware, backdoors, spam content and rogue users from your files and database, checking by hand, not only with a scanner.
We find how attackers got in, such as an outdated plugin, a weak password or a vulnerable theme, and fix it.
We request a review of Google and browser warnings, check your search results and set up monitoring so it does not happen again.
Infected files, injected code, hidden backdoors and spam links removed from your theme, plugins, uploads and database.
We fix broken pages and redirects, remove rogue admin users and get your site working the way it should.
We work to clear Google Safe Browsing warnings, host suspensions and spam search results so visitors and search engines trust your site again.
A review of your plugins, themes, users, file permissions, hosting and settings, with a clear list of risks and fixes.
Core, plugin and theme updates, a web application firewall, login protection, two-factor authentication and safer file settings.
Daily off-site backups and regular malware scans, so a future problem is a quick rollback instead of a rebuild.
Most hacks start with an outdated plugin. Our WordPress plans include security scans, a firewall, daily off-site backups and updates tested on staging, with developer hours to fix problems fast.
Visitors, often only on mobile or when they arrive from Google, get sent to spam or scam pages.
Search results show pages in other languages or for products you do not sell.
Chrome shows a red "Dangerous site" screen, or Google Search Console reports a security issue.
New administrator accounts appear that nobody on your team created.
Your host suspends the site for malware or unusual activity, or the site suddenly slows to a crawl.
Your site starts sending spam email, or your own emails start landing in junk folders.
A hacked site costs you trust, leads and search rankings. We work with small and mid-sized businesses across the United States and Canada.
Sites without a full-time developer, where a hack can go unnoticed for weeks.
Stores that handle orders and customer details and need to stay trusted.
Law, accounting, healthcare and other firms whose reputation depends on a safe website.
Sites inherited from another developer, with old plugins and logins nobody remembers creating.
Send us your site and what you are seeing. We review it and send a clear quote.
We back up the site, remove the infection and repair what was damaged.
We update everything, close the entry point and add layers of protection.
Scans, backups and tested updates keep the site clean, ideally on a WordPress maintenance plan.

Common signs include redirects to spam sites, strange pages showing up in Google, security warnings in Chrome or Google Search Console, admin users you did not create, a suspension from your host, or your site suddenly sending spam. Some infections stay hidden and only show to search engines or mobile visitors, so a professional check is worth it if anything seems off.
Back up the site first, then clean the infected files and database entries, remove backdoors and unknown users, reset every password and update WordPress, plugins and themes. Most importantly, find and fix how the attackers got in, or they will come back. Security plugins help detect malware, but a cleanup by a developer who checks the code by hand is more thorough.
Do not delete the site or blindly restore an old backup. Change your WordPress, hosting and FTP passwords, let your host know and contact a developer. Keeping the infected copy helps find the entry point. Then clean the site, harden it and request a review from Google if your site was flagged.
First remove every trace of the malware. Then request a review in Google Search Console, in the Security issues report. Google reviews the site and removes the warning once it is clean, which usually takes a few days. We handle the cleanup and the review request for you.
Most WordPress hacks come from outdated or vulnerable plugins and themes, weak or reused passwords, pirated premium plugins and poorly secured hosting. WordPress itself is secure when it is kept up to date, which is why regular updates and monitoring matter so much.
It depends on how badly the site is infected and how many sites share the hosting account. Most cleanups are a one-time, fixed-scope job. We review your site and send a quote before we start.
No one can honestly promise that. What we do is remove the infection, fix the way in, harden the site and keep it updated and monitored. That greatly lowers the risk and means any new problem is caught early.
If your site is hacked, say so in your quote request and we will prioritize it. We reply within one business day, and we will tell you how long the cleanup should take once we have looked at the site.
No. A cleanup keeps your pages, posts, products and settings. We take a full backup before we start, so nothing is lost even if a change needs to be undone.
Security plugins such as Wordfence are useful for scanning and firewall rules, and we can set one up for you. On their own they are not enough: well-hidden backdoors can slip past scanners, so we also review files and the database by hand.
Yes. We clean and harden WooCommerce stores too, and test checkout and payments after every fix.
Yes. Our WordPress maintenance plans include security scans, a firewall, daily off-site backups and updates tested on staging, plus developer hours to handle problems when they come up.
Tell us what you are seeing. A senior developer reviews your site and sends you a fixed-scope quote, usually within one business day.
