How we cleaned a hacked insurance website, removed spam from Google's index, and locked down the server — in one week.
A hacked insurance website, thousands of spam pages in Google, and a business at risk of losing both search visibility and customer trust.
The client's website went offline with a critical error. Initial attempts to restore via backup and plugin deactivation failed.
Spam pages and Japanese characters appeared in Google's search listings. A Sucuri scan confirmed the site was infected.
We cleaned the malware from both the app and server levels, hardened the server, and began daily scans.
We used Google Search Console and the Removal Tool to deindex thousands of hacked pages — limited to 1,000 URLs per day.
The site was secure, search listings were cleaned, and Google rankings returned to normal.
We treated this as both a security incident and a search visibility emergency — cleaning the code, locking down the server, and protecting the brand in Google.
We manually removed malware at both the app and server levels. A fresh Sucuri scan confirmed the site was fully clean within hours.
Our developer applied hardening protocols to the server and application layer to block future exploits. Twice-daily malware scans were scheduled.
We performed a perimeter Pen Test to identify external vulnerabilities. No critical threats were found on mail, FTP, or web entry points.
We traced the infection to a likely server breach through a vulnerable GDPR plugin. Server logs revealed suspicious admin logins from foreign IPs.
Wordfence was reactivated, admin passwords were reset, and multiple scans confirmed no further reinfection after patching. Ongoing monitoring was put in place.
After the malware was removed, Google still showed tens of thousands of spam pages. We had to clean it up manually.
At peak infection — up from a normal 2,500 pages.
Scraped and submitted infected pages via Google Removal Tool.
Google's limit required spreading cleanup across multiple days.
Search presence fully restored, spam URLs cleared.
In one week, the site went from compromised and blacklisted to clean, hardened, and visible again in search.
