WordPress malware cleanup — thorough, not cosmetic.
Professional removal of malicious code on WordPress: manual cleanup, finding backdoors, closing the actual gap and hardening — as a clean cleanup service, seamlessly into ongoing care if you want. Right in the middle of an emergency? Head straight to the immediate help.
Forge12 cleans hacked WordPress sites manually at a fixed price (from €490); the initial analysis is free. Malware is removed, entry points are closed and the site is secured again — without blindly restoring old backups.
Clean first, then secure.
With a hack, speed and thoroughness both count. We don't just clean the visible symptoms — we hunt for backdoors and the actual gap, otherwise the attacker comes back.
- Immediate analysis: what happened, how far does it reach?
- Remove malware & backdoors, check files & DB
- Close the security gap (plugin/theme/core/access)
- Restore the clean state (backup/cleanup)
- Then harden — so it doesn't happen again
Four steps out of the emergency.
Immediate analysis
We quickly get a picture: infection, affected files, entry point.
Clean
Remove malicious code and backdoors, check the integrity of files and database.
Close the gap
Fix the cause: outdated plugins/themes, compromised access, core.
Harden & monitor
Harden login, apply updates, switch on monitoring — against a repeat.
What does the next hack cost — and what does ongoing maintenance save?
After the cleanup: estimate your yearly risk without ongoing maintenance. It runs live in your browser — no data leaves your machine.
Rough orientation, not a binding quote. Revenue/hour = monthly revenue × 12 ÷ 4,380 active hours (~12 h/day).
Common questions about Emergency help.
01How quickly can you help?
For an acute infection we handle the case with priority — reach out via the contact form or email and we'll assess scope and next steps immediately.
02What does a hack cleanup cost?
It depends on the extent (a single infected file vs. a deep infection). After a short initial analysis we name a clear price — with no later surprises.
03Will the hack come back?
Only if the cause stays open. That's why we close the actual gap and harden the site, instead of just removing the visible symptoms. On request we take on ongoing maintenance.
04Do we have to inform users or customers (GDPR)?
If personal data may be affected, a notification duty can apply. We help with the assessment and document the incident — the legal evaluation is made by your data protection officer.
