My WordPress site was recently compromised and the pages are now visibly defaced. I can no longer show the original content to visitors and I am uncertain whether any usable backups exist. I need someone to scour the installation for injected code, rogue users, altered database entries, and any other artefacts the intruder may have left behind, then return everything to its pre-hack state.

Here is what I expect:
• Complete malware and file-integrity scan, removal of malicious scripts, and verification that no backdoors remain.
• Restoration of the original theme, pages, media, and menus from working copies you locate or rebuild manually if backups prove unusable.
• Repair of database tables so the defaced content is fully replaced with authentic data.
• A concise report outlining what was found, the exact steps you took, and recommendations for ongoing security (updates, hardening, firewall or security plugin configuration, and routine backup strategy).

You will receive full cPanel/FTP and wp-admin credentials to carry out the work in a staging environment before pushing the clean site live. Once clean and stable, please double-check that core, themes, and plugins are patched to current versions without breaking functionality.

Successful delivery means the front end matches the original look and the admin area is free of suspicious code, with automated backups and basic security monitoring switched on.
