WordPress Japanese SEO Hack Cleanup

Job ID: 40388306

Budget: €30 – €250 EUR

My GoDaddy server was hit by the “Japanese SEO” hack and Google is now indexing spam pages that don’t exist on any of my sites. I already generated fresh UpdraftPlus backups before the incident, so the data you need is ready and waiting.

Here’s exactly what I want to walk away with:

• Complete malware sweep of the entire hosting account (all folders + databases) until it is 100 % clean
• Fresh WordPress core files installed for each site, while preserving the existing custom themes and custom plugins I rely on
• Restoration of the legitimate content from the Updraft backups and a double-check that no malicious files or users slip back in
• Hardening steps—new salts, secure file permissions, updated plugins, and any GoDaddy-specific tweaks you recommend—to keep the doors shut
• Successful re-index request in Google Search Console once the sites pass a clean site check

The only visible symptom so far is spam content showing in search results; I haven’t noticed redirects or rogue user accounts, but please verify that too. Time is critical, so someone who has cleaned this exact attack before and can start immediately will be the right fit.

Hand-off is complete when Search Console reports zero security issues and the live sites load normally without hidden spam.

Thanks
