My Magento store is currently flagged by Nexcess for possible malware. I have their scan report and need a hands-on specialist to manually confirm every alert, and clean the installation without breaking live sales. Work required • Perform a fresh, manual malware scan that follows the exact paths and hashes Nexcess identified. • Quarantine, repair, or safely remove every malicious or suspicious file, keeping clear records of each action. • Apply any missing Magento security patches and extension updates once the site is clean. • Verify front-end, admin panel, checkout, and cron jobs all run normally after remediation. • Produce a detailed PDF/Markdown report summarising findings, actions taken, and recommendations to keep the site secure. Acceptance criteria – No malware flagged by a repeat Nexcess scan and common tools such as maldet or clamscan. – Store functions (browse, add to cart, checkout, admin login) operate exactly as before or better. – Detailed report delivered within the agreed timeframe. SSH/SFTP and Magento admin credentials will be provided after project award. Nexcess Report During the routine scans of our systems, we found malicious files in one or more of your web sites. Don't worry, we've already quarantined this malware for you! Here's what you should do next: PLEASE CHECK YOUR SITE Is your site still up? Does everything look normal? MY SITE IS UP AND EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE That's great! It's possible the vulnerability that allowed the attack is still there, however, and there may be additional malware present. OH NO, MY SITE IS BROKEN! The malware may have affected a core file in your site. You can use the technical information below to identify the file or files that need to be cleaned or restored. In either case, we recommend that you do a thorough inspection of your site for any additional malware, and a thorough review and audit of your site to ensure that security updates are being applied and good security practices are being followed. You can do the work yourself, with a developer, or hire a malware-remediation service provider. For our customers with WordPress sites, Nexcess offers malware remediation for /usr/local/maldetect/sess/session.260209-2236.1263400 per incident. If you'd like to take advantage of that service, open a ticket with Support and include the malware details information below. Once your site is cleaned up and returned to normal, be sure to secure your site to guard against future infections. Here's our guide to how to do that: [login to view URL] MALWARE DETAILS Below are details of the affected files: ________________________________________ TOTAL HITS: 7 FILE HIT LIST: /chroot/home/a779e1cc/[login to view URL] /chroot/home/a779e1cc/[login to view URL] /chroot/home/a779e1cc/[login to view URL] /chroot/home/a779e1cc/[login to view URL] /chroot/home/a779e1cc/[login to view URL] /chroot/home/a779e1cc/[login to view URL] /chroot/home/a779e1cc/[login to view URL]

Hello, thanks for posting this project. I've carefully reviewed your requirements and the Nexcess scan report. This is a specialty area I’ve handled numerous times — performing hands-on, manual malware investigations on Magento installations while maintaining full site functionality for ongoing sales. Here’s how I’ll work: – I will manually verify every flagged file along Nexcess's exact paths and file hashes, not just automated scans, so no threat is overlooked. – Every malicious or suspicious file will be safely quarantined or cleaned, with precise documentation for each step, ensuring you retain a full audit trail. – After cleaning, I’ll review and apply any essential Magento security patches and relevant extension updates. – Extensive function checks will confirm frontend, admin, order flow, checkout, and cron jobs all perform as expected. – You’ll receive a thorough, clear report with my findings, everything remediated, and security recommendations suited to your environment. All remediation will occur in a way that keeps your live store operational—with any sensitive operations planned for off-peak hours if needed. Does your environment have any recent custom modules or third-party integrations that should not be disrupted during cleanup?

Your Magento store is flagged for malware, and the priority is a careful, hands-on cleanup that protects live sales while eliminating threats. This requires precise file inspection, patching, and post-cleanup verification rather than automated “one-click” fixes. I would manually review each flagged file from the Nexcess report, compare against Magento core and extension hashes, and quarantine, repair, or safely remove any malicious content while keeping a clear log of every action. Once the malware is cleared, I’d apply any missing Magento security patches, update extensions, and verify that front-end browsing, checkout, admin access, and cron jobs all operate as expected. I’ll also perform a follow-up malware scan with Nexcess and standard tools like maldet or clamscan to confirm the site is clean. Finally, I’ll deliver a detailed PDF or Markdown report documenting the initial findings, actions taken, and recommendations for ongoing security hardening to prevent recurrence. I have experience in Magento malware remediation and working with live stores where uptime is critical, ensuring a secure cleanup without interrupting sales or customer activity. Once credentials are shared, I can start immediately and provide full remediation with a thorough verification report. Syed

I can take full ownership of confirming and cleaning the Magento installation safely while keeping your live store operational. I’ll manually re‑scan the exact file paths and hashes flagged by Nexcess, validate each alert to separate true positives from false ones, and carefully quarantine, repair, or remove malicious files with a full change log so nothing legitimate is broken. Once the codebase is clean, I’ll apply required Magento security patches and extension updates, then thoroughly test storefront browsing, checkout, admin access, and cron jobs to ensure normal operation. You’ll receive a clear, detailed PDF or Markdown report covering findings, actions taken, and concrete recommendations to prevent reinfection, and the final state will pass both Nexcess re‑scans and common tools like maldet and clamscan.

1. Should the cleanup focus strictly on the 7 files Nexcess flagged, or do you want a full sweep of the Magento installation for any additional hidden malware? 2. Do you want me to perform the remediation directly on the live site, or first on a staging copy to verify no disruption to sales? 3. After cleanup, should I also implement proactive security hardening (patches, file permissions, cron review, malware monitoring), or just return the site to a clean state?
