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

Hi, I’ve handled the Japanese SEO hack on GoDaddy hosting before and can start right away. I’ll run a full malware sweep across your entire hosting account, including all WordPress installs, folders, and databases. After identifying infected files, I’ll replace WordPress core with fresh clean files while keeping your custom themes and plugins intact, and remove any hidden backdoors, cron injections, or obfuscated code. I’ll then restore clean content from your UpdraftPlus backups and manually verify uploads, database entries, and user tables to ensure nothing malicious returns. I’ll also check for hidden redirects, injected sitemap files, rogue admin users, and spam-generated pages. Once everything is clean, I’ll apply hardening steps like new salts, secure permissions, plugin updates, and GoDaddy-specific security adjustments. After cleanup, I’ll request re-indexing in Google Search Console, remove spam URLs, and confirm the site passes security checks. I’ll consider the job complete only when Search Console shows no issues and your sites load normally without hidden spam. Hafiz S.

Good to see this project, I will perform a full malware sweep across all folders and databases, reinstall WordPress core files while preserving your custom themes and plugins, restore clean content from your UpdraftPlus backups, and harden everything — new salts, locked permissions, and GoDaddy-specific configs. One thing I will check immediately: the .htaccess and wp-cron for injected cron jobs, which is how Japanese SEO hacks typically regenerate after a cleanup. Questions: 1) How many WordPress sites are on this hosting account? 2) Do you have Google Search Console access ready to share? Looking forward to your response. Best regards, Kamran

GSC submission same day Google's processing takes a few additional days on their end, but everything will be in motion before I hand off. I've done this on GoDaddy shared hosting, cPanel, and Managed WP environments specifically, so no learning curve on their setup. Just need cPanel, WP admin, and Search Console access to begin. Available to start immediately. Anikesh T
