Cleaning compromised sites while moving them to Tiger Technologies

Posted May 13th, 2015 in Tales From the Support Team. Tags: , .

One issue we (unfortunately) have lots of experience with is fixing a WordPress site after we discover it’s been “hacked”. But while it’s one thing to try to clean a Web site after it got infected on our servers, it’s essentially impossible to try to clean a Web site that was infected on another server and is being transferred to our servers.

We have a page with more information, including:

  • why this is a problem, and the related risks of not fixing it
  • why the normal way of fixing a site isn’t sufficient
  • how to fix the problem
