Is Google warning about your website? Help in Bonn

Google, your browser or your host is warning about harmful content. I check the WordPress installation, clean up the issue and then assist with the renewed review or reinstatement.

WordPress websites in Bonn

If a website contains member accounts, newsletter data or registrations, a security incident must also be investigated with regard to this data. I determine the possible time period, the affected systems and the accesses that can be traced based on the available logs. The written findings distinguish between substantiated facts, technical indications and remaining uncertainties. This provides you with an objective basis for internal assessment and further data protection coordination.

Process and scope of services

The technical remediation for customers in Bonn is carried out via remote access. You will receive a clearly defined scope of services and transparent terms in advance. Further information can be found at Remove WordPress virus and Remove WordPress malware.

Classifying affected data holdings

The findings describe the possible time period, accessible data holdings, verifiable accesses and remaining uncertainties.

Have warning messages removed

After the cleanup, I can request a new review by Google. If the hosting provider has blocked your website, I will compile the technical findings and the measures carried out.

Renew access credentials and security keys

At the end, the affected passwords, user accounts and WordPress security keys are renewed in consultation with you. Unnecessary accounts are removed after approval.

Questions from Bonn

Can you determine whether data has been exfiltrated?

Server logs and other technical traces can substantiate specific accesses. A complete assessment depends on the scope and retention period of the available data. The report makes these limitations transparent.

Yes. It provides the technical facts regarding the time period, systems and possible accesses. You should coordinate the legal assessment and any potential notification with your responsible data protection authority.

A SFTP or SSH access, a database access and an administrator account in WordPress are required. If WordPress access is blocked, server and database access are sufficient to get started. The contract holder can request missing access credentials from the hosting provider.

To carry out the work, I need a SFTP or SSH access, a database access and an administrator account in WordPress. After the initial review, I will explain the findings and the next steps by phone or in writing.
