Hello there, I will clean the malware, restore full site functionality, and harden your WordPress installation against future attacks. Since no backup exists, I will work directly on the live files — scanning core, theme, and plugin directories for injected code before removing it. One critical step: I will check your database for backdoor admin accounts and obfuscated PHP in wp_options — hackers often plant persistence there, and it gets missed. Questions: 1) Do you still have wp-admin access, or is login blocked? 2) Which hosting provider are you on? Ready to start whenever you are. Kamran

Hi there, Asad here. I understand how devastating a WordPress breach can be, especially with no recent backups and a ticking clock to restore trust and uptime. I’ve led multiple WordPress remediation projects: cleaning malware, hardening plugins, removing backdoors, and implementing a robust security posture that stops repeat breaches. I will start with a rigorous, non-destructive clean: isolate malicious files, audit user accounts, and restore clean core/theme/plugin files, followed by a hardened configuration and a tailored firewall/profile for your site. I’ll document every step, verify integrity with a clean backup strategy, and implement preventive measures like locked-down plugin management, secure credentials, and monitoring alerts. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. Expect a concise plan with milestones and clear ownership. This will be a collaborative process to ensure you regain control fast and securely. Next steps: I propose to begin with a 24-48 hour audit window to map the attack surface and then implement a staged remediation plan. What is your preferred window for initial remediation work and are there any sensitive data exposure concerns we should prioritize during the cleanup and hardening phase? Best regards, Asad
