We are looking for a senior WordPress & Linux hosting security expert to perform a complete forensic cleanup and rebuild of a compromised cPanel hosting account.
This is NOT a simple WordPress malware cleanup. The entire hosting account has been compromised.
A detailed forensic report has already been completed. The compromise includes:
• Multiple PHP backdoors • File-write RCE webshell • Malicious .htaccess hijack • Traffic redirect malware • Shadow WordPress installations (/fresh and /pixoll directories) • Modified wp-config.php • 72,000+ injected spam users in database • Suspicious FTP account with full home directory access • Locked malicious files (0444 permissions) • Ongoing file modifications as recent as March 2026
Hosting environment:
cPanel (Namecheap shared hosting) Multiple MySQL databases Shared IP environment
Scope of Work Required
The expert must: Perform full account-level cleanup (not just WordPress) Remove all malware and backdoors Remove shadow WordPress installations Delete suspicious FTP accounts Rotate all credentials (cPanel, FTP, MySQL, WP) Replace WordPress core with clean installation Clean infected database (remove 72k spam users safely) Verify no remaining persistence mechanisms Audit .htaccess and server configs Ensure site is safe to submit for Google reconsideration
If required, we are open to: Full cPanel account reset and rebuild Migration to a fresh hosting environment
Important You must have:
Proven experience with advanced WordPress malware removal Experience handling RCE webshell infections Experience with cPanel server-level audits Ability to work via SSH if needed Ability to provide a detailed post-cleanup report
This is NOT a beginner job. Do not apply if you only use plugins to “scan and delete”.
Deliverables Clean hosting account Clean WordPress installation Clean database No shadow installations Security hardening implemented Final written security report Confirmation of no reinfection vectors
When Applying
Please include: Description of similar infections you have cleaned Your proposed approach (brief step outline) Estimated timeline Whether you recommend full account rebuild
