My WordPress site ([login to view URL]) is currently redirecting visitors to spam domains. The defacement is limited to my blog page ([login to view URL]) that I can see. I rolled back to the latest backup from one month prior, yet the infection persists, so the payload is likely sitting somewhere in the files or database. Deliverables • Identify and eliminate every malicious redirect script or database entry. • Provide a brief report of the compromised files/URLs and what was done to patch them. • Update core, theme, and plugins safely and patch any vulnerable components. • Configure a reputable security plugin (Wordfence, Sucuri, iThemes Security—whichever you prefer) with sensible firewall rules and automated scans. • Add basic hardening (stronger .htaccess rules, disable file editing, salted keys refresh, etc.). • Final confirmation that the site loads normally, with no redirects detected in popular scanners (Google Safe Browsing, VirusTotal, Sucuri SiteCheck). Please let me know your estimated turnaround and any server-side access you’ll need beyond WordPress admin so I can arrange it right away.
