Online Store Security Incident Response
Critical VPS Compromise? Containment, Recovery & Hardening
We handle complex online store security crises. From hidden webshells and cron persistence to mass spam abuse and unauthorized uploads — we restore your store's integrity and secure it for the future.
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.

Our 4-Phase Response Approach
A systematic process to ensure nothing is missed and the system is hardened against future attacks.
Containment
Forensic snapshot, isolation, webshell identification/removal, and immediate cron cleanup.
Assessment
Full filesystem scan, database integrity check, and log analysis to determine the breach scope.
Vector Analysis
Identifying the entry point: vulnerable extensions, outdated core, or exposed configuration.
Remediation
System hardening (OLS, Linux), firewall setup, and either deep cleanup or full VPS rebuild.
