Hacked WordPress Cleanup and Malware Removal
Malware removal, clean core reinstall, credential rotation and hardening for compromised WordPress sites. NZ$495 fixed price with a free re-clean within 30 days.
Thorough WordPress malware removal, finding the backdoor, not just the symptom
A hacked WordPress site requires immediate containment, complete eradication of malicious files, and closing the original entry point so the same infection does not simply come back. Our fixed-price cleanup restores your site from verified vendor code and hardens it against repeat attacks.
We remove active malware, web shells, rogue administrator accounts, and spam injections. Core WordPress files and official plugins are reinstalled directly from checksummed vendor repositories, credentials are fully rotated, and root cause analysis is performed. If the same site is reinfected through the same hole within 30 days, we re-clean it free of charge.
Before any cleanup work begins, we require the site owner's written permission and administrative access to the hosting control panel or SFTP server. Accessing or changing a computer system without authorisation is an offence in New Zealand (Crimes Act 1961, sections 252 and 250) and in Australia (Criminal Code Act 1995, Part 10.7). NullGlitch is a sole trader and not GST-registered, so no GST is added.
What’s included in Hacked WordPress Cleanup
Built around commercial clarity, faster delivery, and clean execution.
Malware and backdoor eradication
Full inspection of uploads, theme files, and database tables to identify and remove obfuscated scripts and hidden web shells.
Clean core and plugin reinstall
WordPress core and official plugins are replaced with clean, unmodified files verified against official vendor checksums.
Credential rotation and secret reset
We reset all WordPress administrator passwords, hosting and SFTP credentials, database passwords, and security salts.
Root cause analysis
We inspect server access logs and timestamps to determine how the attacker breached the site and close that entry point.
Upload execution lockdown
We configure server rules to prevent execution of PHP scripts in upload and media folders, so an uploaded script cannot run.
30-day free re-clean
If your website is reinfected through the same security hole within 30 days of our cleanup, we re-clean it at no additional cost.

Questions before you commit
Straight answers on timing, scope, support, and what happens after launch.
We need the site owner's written permission and access details: hosting control panel (cPanel, Plesk, Cloudways, etc.) or SFTP credentials, and WordPress administrator access. We do not touch files or databases until written authorisation is received.
