Hacked website?
You're not alone
WordPress accounts for roughly 90% of all hacked CMS sites globally. Not because the platform is insecure. But because most WordPress sites run outdated plugins, weak passwords, and no firewall.
A typical scenario: the agency delivered the website two years ago. Nobody has updated plugins since. Three of them have known vulnerabilities. The contact form sends email to a Gmail account nobody checks. And wp-admin is accessible to the entire world without two-factor authentication.
When the website gets hacked, you usually find out when Google warns visitors that "this site may be unsafe". By then, the damage is already done.

How we test
updates
The most common reason WordPress sites get hacked is outdated plugins. But the second most common is plugin updates that break something else.
We solve both problems. Updates are tested automatically in the staging environment: contact forms, payment flows, visual regression testing. Everything verified before deploying to production. No "we'll update and hope for the best".
Common attack vectors we block
Most WordPress attacks follow known patterns. Here's what our WAF stops daily:
- SQL injection via search fields, comment forms, and URL parameters
- Brute force attacks against wp-login.php and xmlrpc.php
- Cross-site scripting (XSS) via unvalidated input fields
- File inclusion attacks that attempt to load malicious code from external servers
- Unauthorized access to wp-admin, wp-config.php, and other sensitive files
- DDoS attacks that attempt to take down the website with traffic floods
Backups
that actually work
Most hosting providers offer "daily backup". The question is: have you ever tested whether it works? Most people haven't.
We take daily snapshots of the entire infrastructure. Not just the database, but files, configuration and server environment. Encrypted with AES-256 and stored with geographic redundancy in the EU. And we test restoration regularly, so we know it actually works when it matters.
Restoration takes under ten minutes. Not hours, not days.

When something happens
we respond in minutes
When your website is hacked, every minute counts. Google can blacklist your domain within hours. Every hour of downtime means lost customers and damaged reputation.
Our team receives automatic alerts on suspicious activity. Typical response time: under 30 minutes for critical incidents. The threat is isolated, the site restored from the last clean backup, and we conduct a thorough review to close the vulnerability that was exploited.
Most hosting providers have 24-hour response times. Or worse: no SLA at all.

Signs your website is vulnerable
Some of these probably sound familiar:
- Plugins that haven't been updated in over three months
- No two-factor authentication on admin accounts
- You don't know who has access to wp-admin
- Your hosting provider offers no WAF or DDoS protection
- The last backup was never tested
- You discovered the previous security incident via Google, not via monitoring
Recognize three or more? It's time for a security review. See our maintenance plan.
How to secure your WordPress site
- 01
Update WordPress, themes, and plugins immediately when security patches are released
- 02
Enable two-factor authentication for all admin users
- 03
Remove unused plugins and themes — they are attack surfaces even when deactivated
- 04
Ensure wp-login.php is protected against brute force
- 05
Disable XML-RPC if you don't use it (most people don't)
- 06
Use a WAF in front of the server, not just a security plugin
- 07
Test that your backups can actually be restored
- 08
Monitor file integrity — unauthorized changes should be detected automatically
