Security work is easier when you know who is accountable.

The 4,500+ figure represents practical cleanup work across freelance platforms, agency partnerships, direct website owners, referrals, eCommerce stores, content sites, and emergency hosting-recovery jobs. It is not a scanner count or a number of automated checks.

Those incidents have included hidden PHP backdoors, redirect malware, fake CAPTCHA pages, Japanese keyword hacks, database injections, fake plugins, malicious scheduled tasks, hosting suspensions, browser warnings, and reinfections that survived earlier cleanups.

I also build and maintain websites. That development background matters during security work because not every unfamiliar file is malicious, and a cleanup must preserve the custom behavior a business depends on.
