Episode notes
In Episode 40 of the Melapress Show, Francesco Carlucci returns to join Robert Abela to unpack what it really means when a hacked WordPress site is declared “clean.” Moving beyond surface-level fixes, they explore the reality of post-hack remediation, the limits of automated malware removal, and why true recovery requires far more than deleting a few suspicious files.
Key topics include:
- The difference between automated cleanup and full incident remediation
- How modern malware, including SEO spam and polymorphic threats, evades scanners
- Why sites can pass security scans while remaining compromised
- What expert-led investigations uncover that tools often miss
- What site owners and agencies should demand before accepting that a site is “secure again”
