"Job Title:

URGENT: Clean Hacked Website ([login to view URL]) – Remove Deceptive Content & Restore Site

Project Description:

My website [login to view URL] has been hacked and is currently displaying deceptive Japanese e-commerce content (e.g., iPhone 11 product listings) on multiple URLs such as:

/ (root index)

/[login to view URL]…

/[login to view URL]…

/?u=…

These pages were not created by me and appear to be part of an injected/unauthorized storefront installed on the server.

Google Search Console is flagging the site as Deceptive / Hacked, and I need an experienced security-focused developer to clean the site immediately.

What I Need Done (Deliverables):
1. Full malware/hack cleanup

Identify all hacked files (including [login to view URL], [login to view URL], [login to view URL], and any hidden PHP shells or obfuscated code).

Remove all malicious content and backdoors.

Remove any injected storefront or e-commerce engine.

Clean the site root and subdirectories.

2. Restore my original website

Restore from a clean backup OR rebuild a simple clean landing page if backups are not available.

Ensure the site displays correct, expected content (not the hacker’s listings).

3. Fix server configuration

Review and clean .htaccess, index files, and any redirects.

Remove any suspicious cron jobs.

Verify that no malicious scripts reload themselves.

4. Harden the system

Update all CMS/plugins/themes (if applicable).

Secure file permissions, disable dangerous PHP functions where appropriate.

Change admin/hosting passwords (I will assist).

Ensure the hosting account is not compromised elsewhere.

5. Verify and document the cleanup

Provide a list of all infected files removed.

Confirm site is clean and loading properly.

Confirm that no deceptive URLs remain accessible.

6. Assist with Google Search Console

Help me request a Security Issue Review once the site is clean.

Confirm no flagged URLs remain.

Required Skills:

Website malware removal

PHP security and server-side cleanup

cPanel / FTP / SSH experience

Google Search Console recovery

Ability to finish quickly

Notes:

This job is urgent — I need the site cleaned ASAP.

I will provide full access to hosting (cPanel/FTP)." (client-provided description)
