Hacked WordPress Recovery and Robust Security Reinforcement

We delivered a comprehensive solution to fix hacked websites and bolster their security, ensuring long-term protection against threats. Using advanced security tools and techniques, we removed malware, restored functionality, and implemented robust preventive measures. Our work included enhancing file security, deploying multiple layers of firewall protection, and safeguarding the website against various vulnerabilities such as XSS, SQL injection, and local file inclusion.

To improve user security and prevent unauthorized access, we integrated hidden login URLs, CAPTCHA systems, and Cloudflare Turnstile for verification. Additionally, we implemented bot-blocking honeypot fields and advanced directory protection to maintain data integrity. With all plugins, themes, and WordPress core set for automatic updates, the websites are equipped for future-proofed security.

Technical Security Implementations:

  1. File Security:
    • Hardened critical files such as .htaccess and wp-config.
    • Customized database table prefixes to reduce attack surfaces.
  2. Firewall Protection:
    • Implemented multi-layer firewalls, including 6G, Legacy 5G, HackRepairs, Aios Advanced, and Web Application Firewall (WAF).
  3. Anti-Enumeration & User Safety:
    • Prevented frame embedding, user enumeration, and added salt postfix for additional encryption.
  4. Form Security & Bot Mitigation:
    • Enhanced forms with honeypot fields for bot blocking.
    • Added CAPTCHA systems for human verification.
  5. Access Protection:
    • Set up hidden login URLs to minimize brute-force attack risks.
    • Disabled unnecessary services like pingbacks and RSS feeds.
  6. Vulnerability Protection:
    • Secured against cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, local file inclusion (LFI), and XML external entity (XXE) attacks.
  7. Cloudflare Integration:
    • Deployed Cloudflare Turnstile for enhanced traffic validation.
  8. Advanced File & Directory Protection:
    • Prevented hotlinking and added directory-level restrictions.
  9. Threat Filtering & Monitoring:
    • Implemented character string filtering and 404-based IP detection for real-time threat mitigation.
