Real-world case
Hidden backdoor in WordPress site discovered after years
A company's website had an advanced backdoor hidden in a WPCode snippet for years. The malware could create admin users, redirect organic traffic to spam sites and actively hid itself from the WordPress dashboard. The site was running WordPress 6.0.2 without updates. Found, cleaned and secured in under 2 hours.

Frequently asked questions
My site has been hacked – what should I do?
Contact me immediately. The faster we act, the less damage. I clean your site of malware, close security holes and restore from backup if necessary. Typically a hacked site is clean and secure within 24 hours.
How do I know if my site is hacked?
Common signs: redirects to other sites, foreign content/links, Google warnings, you can't log in, or the site is very slow. If you're unsure, contact me for a security check.
What does it cost to secure my website?
A basic security setup typically costs 2,000-4,000 DKK. Malware removal after a hack starts from 3,000 DKK depending on scope. Ongoing security monitoring is included in my service agreements.
Can my site be hacked again after cleanup?
The risk is greatly reduced with proper setup. I close known holes, set up a firewall and ensure everything is updated. With ongoing maintenance your site stays secure.
What are the most common security issues?
Outdated plugins are the most common cause of hacks. Next are weak passwords, missing firewall and user mistakes. Most issues are preventable with good hygiene and regular updates.
