Website security recovery & rebuild
Recover the site — and the search equity worth saving
Compromised, injected or hacked website? MYM identifies the damage, protects the search equity worth saving, contains the compromise, and restores or rebuilds on a cleaner foundation.
Best for established businesses where downtime, spam-index pollution, lost rankings, broken lead flow or damaged trust carries real commercial cost — sites that have been injected, defaced, cloaked or filled with spam URLs and still hold search visibility worth protecting. A small brochure site with little traffic or search equity is usually better served by a simple clean rebuild, and MYM will say so rather than sell a recovery it does not need.
Protection and recovery

RecoverPreserve clean equity
RebuildHardened path
The recovery framework
CONTAIN → RECOVER → REBUILD → CONVERT → GROW
A compromised site is a commercial problem as much as a technical one. The sequence protects what is still earning before anything is deleted.
Contain
Establish what is publicly compromised, preserve evidence and harden the exposed surface before anything is deleted.
Recover
Map the spam footprint and protect the legitimate pages, rankings and citations still earning.
Rebuild
Repair the platform or migrate to a cleaner stack with URL parity, redirect mapping and rollback.
Convert
Restore conversion paths, forms, tracking and reporting so the numbers can be trusted again.
Grow
Keep the site under ongoing protection and visibility review so the same exposure does not return.
From an anonymized MYM audit
What a compromised site actually looks like
Findings from an anonymized healthcare audit conducted by MYM. The client, domain, exploit details and technical indicators are withheld.
Tens of thousands of injected spam URLs indexed under the client's own domain
Cloaked content served to search engines that never appeared to site visitors
Legitimate service pages pushed out of the index by the injected footprint
Analytics and conversion tracking contaminated, making performance unreadable
An out-of-date platform and plugin stack left the site exposed for months
Search Console security and manual-action signals ignored before MYM was engaged
MYM has handled compromised-site recovery firsthand, including recovery of its own web property. No forensic attribution, exploit detail or indicator of compromise is published, and MYM is not a penetration-testing, SOC or managed IT provider.
Responsibilities
What you provide, what MYM handles, where a specialist takes over
Recovery moves fast only when access is ready on day one. The boundaries are stated up front so nobody assumes cover that does not exist.
What MYM handles
- Containment and clean-up of the compromised site
- Spam index and manual-action clean-up in search
- Hardening, monitoring and update discipline
- Rebuild or migration with search equity preserved
- Conversion paths and tracking restored after recovery
Where a specialist takes over
- Forensic attribution and legal or insurance investigation
- Penetration testing and offensive security work
- SOC monitoring, endpoint or network security
- Managed IT, email security and internal device policy
- Regulatory breach notification decisions
No engagement claims a site can be made unhackable. The work is recovery, search equity protection, hardening and rebuild — priced only after a compromise audit.

The problem
What usually goes wrong with Website Security Recovery & Rebuild
A compromised site is usually treated as an IT clean-up. The damage that costs the most is commercial: spam URLs indexed under your domain, cloaked pages served to search engines, contaminated analytics, and legitimate rankings quietly lost while everyone focuses on the file system.
What we typically find
Injected or spam URLs indexed under your own domain
Redirects or cloaked content served to search engines but not to you
Analytics and conversion data contaminated, so nothing can be trusted
A rushed delete-and-rebuild that destroys legitimate search equity
How we run Website Security Recovery & Rebuild
Contain
Establish what is publicly visible and compromised, preserve evidence, and give clear containment and hardening recommendations before anything is deleted.
Recover
Map the spam footprint, plan index and canonical clean-up, and protect the legitimate pages, rankings and citations that are still earning.
Rebuild
Repair the current platform where that is economically sensible, or migrate onto a cleaner modern stack with URL parity, redirect mapping and a rollback plan.
Convert and grow
Restore conversion paths, forms, tracking and reporting, then keep the site under ongoing protection review so the same exposure does not return.
Way to start
Begin with a compromise audit
Recovery scope depends on the size of the spam footprint, the state of the platform and whether repair or rebuild is the better economics. Pricing is set after a compromise audit — never before.
