Your site has
been hacked, urgent

A hacked site needs fixing right away, every extra hour raises the risk that Google flags the site as unsafe, which drastically cuts traffic even after cleanup. The first step is an urgent damage assessment, not waiting for it to "sort itself out".

Does this actually apply to you

  • The site shows content you did not put there (ads, redirects, strange text)
  • The browser or Google shows a "this site may be unsafe" warning
  • Your hosting provider notified you of suspicious activity on the account
  • The site suddenly got much slower or unreachable with no obvious reason

What happens if this is not fixed

Google actively scans sites and can flag them as unsafe in search and in Chrome, which turns visitors away before they even see the site. The longer hacked content stays up, the more likely that flag becomes, and the harder it is to get it removed afterward.

How we fix it

1. Urgent assessment: we identify the entry point and scope of the damage within the first few hours.

2. Cleanup: we remove the malicious code and close the entry point the attacker used.

3. Hardening: we put basic security measures in place to prevent it happening again.

4. If needed, we request a re-review from Google to get any warning removed.

Timeline: urgent work starts the same day.
