Emergency Services

Hacked, Down or Blacklisted? Start Here

One phone call covers all of it. You don't need to know what's wrong — that's our job.

URGENT

Emergency Website Recovery

Hacked, crashed, white-screened or just gone — we find out why and get you back online. Most rescues are completed the same day.

URGENT

Email System Recovery

When email stops, business stops. We restore broken mailboxes, fix DNS and deliverability problems, and get your messages flowing again.

Hack Cleanup & Malware Removal

We remove the malware, clean every infected file — not just the obvious ones — and close the hole it came through. You get a plain-English report of what happened.

Google Blacklist & "Deceptive Site" Removal

That red warning screen turns away every visitor. We clean the site, submit the review to Google, and see it through until the warning is gone.

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Server died, host vanished, files deleted? If a backup exists anywhere — however old or partial — we'll find it and rebuild from there.

Emergency Security Hardening

Just been attacked, or had a close call? We lock down logins, patch the known holes and put monitoring in place so you can see what’s happening on your own site.

Common Emergencies

Recognise Any of These?

These are the exact messages people arrive with. If yours is on the list, we have seen it many times before and you are not in unusual trouble.

"Deceptive site ahead" or "This site may be hacked"

Google Safe Browsing has flagged you, so every visitor now meets a red warning screen instead of your site. We clean the infection, submit the review, and stay on it until the warning is lifted.

White screen of death — the page loads completely blank

Usually a fatal PHP error, a failed update or a broken plugin. It looks catastrophic and often is not. We read the error logs and find the actual cause instead of guessing at it.

"Error establishing a database connection"

The site cannot reach its database — corrupted tables, credentials that changed during a migration, or a database server that has fallen over. We restore the connection and check nothing was lost.

HTTP 500 Internal Server Error

A catch-all message that hides the real fault underneath: server config, a bad .htaccess, exhausted memory, or file permissions. Finding out which one is the whole job.

Your site redirects visitors to spam, gambling or pharmacy pages

A classic injected redirect. It often only fires for visitors arriving from Google, so the site looks perfectly fine when you check it yourself — which is why these run for months unnoticed.

Japanese or gibberish pages showing under your domain in Google

The Japanese keyword hack. Thousands of spam pages get indexed against your domain. We remove them, clean the source, and clear them back out of Google.

Your hosting account has been suspended

Normally the host has detected malware or an outbound spam script. We deal with the host, clean the cause, and get the account reinstated.

"Not secure" warning, or the padlock has vanished

An expired or misconfigured SSL certificate, or mixed content on the page. Quick to fix, and it stops costing you visitors the moment it is done.

WordPress

Hacked WordPress Site? That's Most of What We Do.

WordPress runs a huge share of the web, which makes it the biggest target on it. Nearly every site we rescue is WordPress, and nearly every compromise traces back to the same short list of causes — an out-of-date plugin, an abandoned one, a nulled theme, or a password that was reused somewhere it shouldn't have been.

We didn't build most of the sites we clean, and that's fine — it's the normal case, not the exception. We work with WordPress and most PHP sites, and we'll tell you straight if yours is something we can't help with.

Call 1300 932 767
  • Malware and injected code cleaned out of core, themes and plugins — not just the obvious files
  • Locked out of wp-admin, or an administrator account you did not create has appeared
  • wp-vcd, redirect and SEO-spam infections traced back to the file actually carrying them
  • Sites compromised through an out-of-date plugin, an abandoned plugin, or a nulled theme
  • A clean reinstall of WordPress core where the existing install is too far gone to trust
  • Every password, key and salt rotated so whoever got in cannot simply walk back in

Hacked Website Questions — Straight Answers

How quickly can you fix my website?

We answer 24/7 and diagnosis starts immediately. Most rescues are completed the same day. We won't promise a fix time before we've seen the problem — nobody honestly can.

How much does an emergency rescue cost?

Emergency Website Rescue starts from $1,500 + GST. You get a fixed quote after rapid diagnosis and approve it before any work starts. If we can't help, the assessment costs nothing. Complex compromises and e-commerce sites are quoted on scope.

Can you rescue a website you didn't build?

Yes — most rescues are sites someone else built. We work with WordPress and most PHP sites, and we'll tell you straight if yours is something we can't help with.

My WordPress site is hacked — can you clean it?

Yes — WordPress is the bulk of what we rescue. We clean the malware out of core, themes and plugins, remove any accounts the attacker added, rotate every password and key, and close the hole they came through. That last part is usually an out-of-date plugin.

How do I get rid of the "Deceptive site ahead" warning in Google?

The warning stays until Google is satisfied the site is clean, so the malware has to go first — removing the warning without fixing the cause just gets you flagged again. We clean the site, submit it for review, and follow the review through until the warning is lifted.

My email is down but my website is fine — can you still help?

Yes. Email recovery is its own emergency service: broken mailboxes, DNS and deliverability problems, mail bouncing or landing in spam, or a mailbox that has simply vanished.

Data breach or incident beyond your website? Our security consultancy HCSE handles incident response and compliance.
