Electrical Contractor Recovers Hacked Website
The Challenge
An electrical contractor's website was injected with malicious code that redirected visitors to scam sites. Google flagged the site as dangerous, and their primary source of new residential leads dried up overnight.
Our Solution
We cleaned and restored the website, identified the vulnerability in outdated plugins, migrated to secure managed hosting with a web application firewall, and implemented ongoing security monitoring and automatic updates.
The Results
- Website cleaned and restored within 24 hours
- Google warning removed within 48 hours
- Lead generation returned to normal within one week
- No security incidents in 16+ months of managed hosting
“90% of our new customers find us through our website. When it got flagged as dangerous, the phone stopped ringing. IronGate got us back online fast and now I don't worry about it anymore.”
