Hacked! Now What?
Your WordPress Site Just Got Hacked.
Now What?
18 pages. 6 chapters.
A step-by-step emergency guide that tells you exactly what to do — starting right now. €19.
THE MOMENT
You open your laptop. Your website redirects to a pharmacy in Belarus. Or your hosting company sent you a cheerful little email saying they’ve suspended your account. Or there’s a page on your site you definitely didn’t create, selling things you definitely don’t sell.
Welcome to the club nobody wants to join.
Your heart is racing. You’re Googling things like “WordPress hacked what to do” and getting 30 million results — half of them trying to sell you something, the other half written in 2017.
You don’t need 30 million results. You need a plan.
THE BOOK
This Is That Plan.
Hacked! Now What? is an 18-page emergency guide that walks you through the first hours and days after a WordPress breach.
No jargon. No panic.
Just clear, numbered steps — from “don’t touch anything yet” to “here’s how to make sure this never happens again.”
Think of it as the fire extinguisher manual you should have read before the kitchen caught fire. Except you’re reading it now, and it still works.
WHAT’S INSIDE
6 Chapters. Each One Gets You Closer to Fixed.
- Don’t Panic — But Act Fast — The first 60 minutes. What to write down, who to call, which passwords to change, and what not to touch. The golden rule: stop the bleeding, but don’t perform surgery.
- Assess the Damage — Play detective. Figure out what the hackers actually did — because “my site’s been hacked” is a bit like saying “my car’s broken.” It could be a flat tyre or the engine falling out. The fix depends on the problem.
- Contain the Breach — Stop it from getting worse. Isolate the damage before you start cleaning up. You wouldn’t start repainting the door frame while the burglar’s still inside.
- Clean Your Site — Remove the malware, fix the compromised files, and get rid of whatever the hackers left behind. Step by step, no guesswork.
- Restore & Verify — Put everything back together and make sure it actually works. Test it like a customer would, not like someone who just wants to close the laptop and go to bed.
- Prevent It from Happening Again — Because getting hacked once is bad luck. Getting hacked twice is a choice.
WHO THIS IS FOR
For People Who Are Having a Very Bad Day.
You’re not a developer.
You’re not a security expert.
You’re a business owner whose website just became someone else’s playground, and you need to fix it before your customers notice.
This guide assumes you can log into WordPress and follow instructions.
That’s it.
No command line.
No server access.
No “consult your developer” — because if you had one, you probably wouldn’t be reading this.
TIMING
The Best Time to Buy This Was Before You Got Hacked. The Second Best Time Is Right Now.
Every hour your site stays compromised, the damage grows. Search engines flag you. Customers lose trust. Your data leaks further. The hackers dig deeper.
This guide is designed to be read in crisis mode — short chapters, clear steps, no filler. You can work through it in an afternoon. Most people start seeing results within the first hour.
WHAT DOES IT COST
€19. Less Than One Hour of Panicked Googling Costs You.
The average cost of recovering from a WordPress hack — if you hire someone — starts at €500 and goes up from there. The cost of lost customers while your site is down? Don’t do that maths.
This guide is €19. That’s less than the coffee you’ll need to get through the day.
WHAT IF…
“Can’t I just Google how to fix a hacked site?”
You can. You’ll spend hours sorting outdated advice from dangerous advice from advice that only applies to a different type of hack. Meanwhile, your site is still compromised. This guide gives you the right steps, in the right order, for €19.
“I’ll just restore from a backup.”
Maybe. If you have one. If it’s recent. If it’s not also infected. Chapter 5 covers exactly how to do this properly — and what to check before you trust that backup.
“Shouldn’t I just hire someone?”
If you want to, absolutely. But even then, this guide helps you understand what happened, ask the right questions, and avoid getting overcharged. Knowledge is leverage.
SO
Your site is hacked. The clock is ticking.
You can keep Googling. Or you can start fixing.
Once you’ve recovered, make sure it doesn’t happen again
