Is your VPS under attack?

Attackers target online stores due to their complexity and valuable data. Once inside, they rarely leave a single entry point. We often find multiple persistence mechanisms designed to survive standard cleanups:

  • ● Malicious PHP webshells hidden in legitimate core or media folders
  • ● Cron-based persistence (backdoors re-infecting the system every hour)
  • ● Mass spam distribution damaging your IP and domain reputation
  • ● Malicious executable uploads targeting the store's directory structure

We've been there

We have managed similar VPS compromises on our own infrastructure. We understand the urgency, the complexity, and the stress of a compromised environment.

  2. 02

    Assessment

    Full filesystem scan, database integrity check, and log analysis to determine the breach scope.

  3. 03

    Vector Analysis
