WordPress Hack Recovery & Backdoor Removal
When a site has been defaced, an admin account has been hijacked, or the same infection keeps returning, our WordPress hack recovery service goes deeper than a standard cleanup to find and permanently close every persistent access point an attacker left behind.
Signs You Need Full Hack Recovery, Not Just A Cleanup
A WordPress hack recovery service is the right call when the compromise goes beyond a simple infection — these are the signals that a deeper attack has taken hold.
You've Been Locked Out Of Admin
Your WordPress login no longer works, or the password reset email never arrives because the attacker changed the associated admin email address.
The Site Has Been Visibly Defaced
Your homepage has been replaced with hacker messaging, political content, or a completely different site than the one you published.
Malware Keeps Coming Back
A previous cleanup attempt removed the visible infection, but it returned within days — a strong sign of a persistent backdoor that wasn't found.

A healthcare clinic in the UK was locked out of its patient portal after an attacker changed the admin email and defaced the homepage. We restored secure access within hours, reversed the defacement, and closed the outdated plugin vulnerability that let the attacker in.

We were completely locked out of our own site for two days. Elites Cyber Defense got us back in and found a backdoor our host's security plugin never even flagged.
Our site was defaced overnight with hacker messaging on the homepage. They had our original site fully restored within two days, and it's been clean ever since.
Three previous cleanups didn't stick. Elites Cyber Defense found the actual backdoor buried in a theme file that nobody else had checked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about our WordPress hack recovery service.
I've been completely locked out of my WordPress admin — can you still help?
Yes. We regularly recover access for site owners locked out entirely, working directly with your hosting provider to regain control of the server and database even when the WordPress login itself is inaccessible.
My site was defaced — can you restore it to how it looked before?
In most cases, yes. We restore original content and design from backups, cached versions, or database records wherever possible. If no backup exists, we'll assess what can be recovered and discuss options before proceeding.
How is this different from the standard Emergency Malware Removal service?
Emergency Malware Removal addresses active infections like injected spam or redirects. This service is for deeper compromises — admin lockouts, defacement, or persistent backdoors that a standard cleanup has failed to fully resolve.
What if the attacker also compromised my hosting account, not just WordPress?
We coordinate directly with your hosting provider's support team when the compromise extends beyond WordPress itself, including server-level access issues, to ensure the entire environment is secured, not just the CMS layer.
Will you find backdoors that previous cleanups missed?
This is the core strength of the service. Our forensic process specifically targets the persistent access mechanisms — hidden shells, rogue cron jobs, disguised plugin files — that surface-level scanners and quick fixes typically miss.
Do you preserve my SEO rankings and site history during recovery?
Yes, preserving your existing content, URLs, and SEO history is a priority throughout the recovery process, which is one reason this service is preferable to rebuilding the site from scratch.
How quickly can you start if this is happening right now?
Our team typically begins triage within 60 minutes of contact for active compromises, with full recovery completed in 48–72 hours depending on the depth of the breach.
Should I add ongoing protection after recovery?
Strongly recommended. Sites that experience a full compromise are statistically more likely to be targeted again. Our Fortress Managed Retainer adds 24/7 monitoring to catch any future attempt before it escalates.
