Website hack recovery
We perform technical works to recover a site after a hack: clean the infection, find and remove malicious code/backdoors, restore from a clean copy, close the found entry point, change credentials. To return the site to a working and more protected state. Honestly and upfront, this is critical: we do the maximum technically, but we CANNOT guarantee full data recovery (depends on your backups) and 100% removal of all traces of the attacker — these are the honest limits of any recovery.
Website hack recovery — overview

Hack recovery is an urgent technical project: we assess the infection, isolate the site where possible, search for malicious code, web shells and backdoors, remove them, restore files/DB from a clean backup (if one exists), close the found vulnerability/entry point, update components, change all credentials and keys, verify operability. Honestly about guarantees, this is key and mandatory: technical works return the site to a working state and remove what is found, but we do NOT guarantee: (1) full data recovery — it depends on the presence and freshness of your backups; without a clean copy some data may be lost; (2) 100% removal of all backdoors/traces — the attacker could have left hidden mechanisms; we search and close thoroughly, but no one honestly gives an absolute 'it won't come back' guarantee; so it is critical to change all passwords/keys and then strengthen protection. Honestly about the boundary: these are technical works, NOT forensic investigation of 'who and how' (separate, if needed) and NOT the legal part — notifying users/regulators of a breach, statements, is your responsibility/lawyer. Honestly about the backup prerequisite: if there are no backups or they are also infected, recovery is greatly limited; we honestly say upfront what is realistic and what is not. Honestly about 'after': recovery does not equal protection against a repeat hack — the cause must be closed and security strengthened (separate services: hardening, WAF, updates). Honestly about access: full access to the site/server/backups is needed. An important boundary: this is recovery (technical works), not prevention, not forensics and not legal support. Picture this: instead of 'the site is infected, redirects to spam, panic' — a cleaned site restored from a clean copy with the entry point closed and credentials changed. The base price starts from 30,000 ₽ per project; it strongly depends on the scale of infection and the presence of backups.
Problems we solve
- The site is hacked: malicious code, redirects, spam, defacement.
- A search engine/browser flags the site as dangerous.
- You do not know if the malware is fully removed and the hole is closed.
- You urgently need to return the site to a working state.

FAQ
Will you fully recover all data?
It depends on your backups. With a clean fresh copy — yes, to the maximum extent; without it some data may be irretrievably lost. We honestly say upfront what is realistic to recover and what is not — promising full recovery without backups would be deception.
Do you guarantee there will be no more hacks and all backdoors are removed?
No, honestly no one guarantees that. We thoroughly search and remove malware/backdoors and close the found entry point, but the attacker could have left something hidden — so it is critical to change all credentials and strengthen protection. Recovery ≠ protection against a repeat hack (separate measures).
Will you investigate who hacked and handle the legal part?
These are technical recovery works. Forensics of 'who and how' is separate (if needed), and notifying users/regulators of a breach and legal actions are your responsibility with a lawyer. We return the site to service and close what is found.
