Tampa Forge
Full malware removal
We sweep files, database, and user accounts for injected code, backdoors, rogue admins, and spam content — the visible damage and the hidden hatches attackers leave so they can come back.
Salvage operations · Boarded & taking water
WordPress site hacked? Steady — it's fixable.
Defaced homepage, strange pharmacy pages in your Google results, visitors redirected somewhere ugly, or a red "this site may be hacked" warning — it's alarming, but almost every hacked WordPress site can be cleaned and made seaworthy again. Tampa Forge removes the malware, closes the hole it came through, and gets Google's warnings lifted. Tell us what you're seeing and we reply within one business day — sooner if it's urgent.
What The Cleanup Includes
We don't just bail water — we patch the hull
Most WordPress hacks come through the same doors: outdated plugins or core, weak or reused passwords, or a cheap host with poor isolation. Deleting the ugly page only hides the leak. A proper cleanup removes the intruder's code everywhere it landed and closes the way in, or you'll be boarded again within weeks. And if nobody's been keeping the ship patched, our PHP maintenance & legacy support crew can stand watch after the cleanup so it stays closed.
Closing the hole it came through
We identify how they got in — a vulnerable plugin, an outdated core, a guessed password — and fix that specific entry point, not just the symptoms it caused.
Hardening against the next attempt
Updated core and plugins, strong credentials, tightened file permissions, login protection, and backups that actually restore — so the next probe bounces off.
Getting Google's warnings lifted
Once the site is clean, we submit reconsideration and review requests to Google and the major blocklists so the "deceptive site" warnings come down and your search results recover.
The First Hour
What to do right now, before anything else
A few calm moves in the first hour make the cleanup faster and cheaper. A few panicked ones make it harder.
Don't delete anything yet Deleting files and pages feels productive, but it destroys the evidence that shows how the attacker got in — and rarely removes the actual infection. Leave the wreckage in place for now.
Change your passwords From a device you trust, change your hosting, WordPress admin, and email passwords. If you reused any of them elsewhere, change those too.
Write down what you saw Screenshots of the defacement, the warning Google showed, the weird URL it redirected to, when you first noticed. Every detail shortens the hunt.
Send up a flare Tell us what happened and what you've seen. We reply within one business day — sooner if it's urgent — with an honest read on how bad it is and a fixed price to clean it up.
Under attack? Signal us.
Tell us what you're seeing — the warning, the redirect, the strange pages — and we'll tell you plainly what it looks like, what the cleanup involves, and what it costs before any work begins.
