WordPress Malware Removal and Security

If you think the site is hacked, make sure it is. Sometimes the site may behave strangely or you may think the site has been hacked.

Your site is hacked if:

• You see spam appearing on your site in the header or footer that advertises casinos, wallets, illegal services and so on. Such an ad may be invisible to visitors but visible to search engines, such as dark text on a dark background.
• You make a query site:vash-sayt.ua in Google, and you see content on the site pages that you did not add.
• Your visitors are telling you that they are being redirected to other sites. These redirects can be configured so that they do not work with the site administrator, but work for normal users and are visible to search engines.
• You received a message from your hosting provider that your site is doing something malicious or spam. For example, that your site is sending spam, or there is a link to your site in Internet spam. Hackers send spam, including from infected sites, and use infected sites to redirect users to their sites. They do this because they want to avoid spam filters so their sites don’t get sanctioned by search engines. When an infected site falls through spam filters, hackers leave it and use others.
• When website traffic drops, you get fewer visitors and fewer orders.
• A “red plate” from Google appeared on the site, you can check it here.
