HackRepair

Thank you for this opportunity to share an experience I just recently had. Its a little story from an 'always feeling like a newbie to anything tech' person, yes I do have gray hair.

I host a personal blog on WordPress and thought I was doing a pretty good job with the upkeep until a few weeks back I started the day with a 2nd notification of a hacked WP site from my hosting provider. I thought I had it taken care of after the 1st notification but apparently it was more than I could comprehend to correct whatever was wrong.

I was told by my hosting provider to find a third party developer or a security consultant. I was beside myself not knowing which way to turn.

I reached out in a Facebook WP group and did some searching on my own. Between the two I stumbled onto the same great find that saved the day for this 'always feeling like a newb'. I thought I would pass along this recommendation under the heading of 'Keep Calm and Secure Your Site'.

Jim Walker of www.hackrepair.com was my super tech hero that saved the day and a wealth of headaches. It was well worth the money, quite affordable actually I thought for what I was expecting.

In addition to repairing hacked sites Jim also offers regular services to make sure your site stays safe. I am a new customer.

When learning to maneuver this WP and self-hosting process I hear constantly about security and back up and such but didn't understand the depth of it. I updated themes and plugins regularly but apparently it takes a whole lot more than I understood.

There is a lot to learn when you are a DIY and if you aren't tech savvy don't run the risk that I did. Protect yourself against the hackers because they are out there and they don't discriminate.

If you haven't taken the correct measures to secure your site don't let it scare you, have someone who knows what they are doing do it for you.

Jim is that person. He is a real guy and a real gem and real affordable. I say pay for it now or you will be paying for it later. Its more affordable than you think.

Thanks for the platform and I hope I have saved at least one person a day of headaches and a few more gray hairs.
