Is My Site Compromised?
Find out in under a minute.
Enter your URL below and we'll run a full security scan covering malware, skimmers, blocklists, SSL, headers, DNS, WordPress, and misconfigurations to surface any sign your site has been breached.
Common Signs Your Website Has Been Hacked
If you've noticed any of these, scan your site right now.
Unfamiliar redirects
Visitors get bounced to spam, gambling, or pharmacy sites they never clicked on.
Browser warnings
Chrome or Safari now shows a red "deceptive site" or "dangerous" warning page.
Strange new files or pages
Files you didn't upload, unfamiliar admin users, or pages in foreign languages.
Traffic or ranking drop
Google Search Console alerts, deindexing, or a sudden cliff in organic traffic.
Pop-ups or injected ads
Ads, banners, or pop-ups appearing on pages where you never placed them.
Customer payment complaints
Buyers reporting fraudulent charges after using your checkout. A classic skimmer signal.
What the compromise check looks at
We load your site in a real browser like a visitor would, then run the full ScanTower battery against the result. Every check below runs in a single scan.
Injected malware & scripts
- •Magecart & e-commerce card skimmers
- •Keyloggers and form interceptors
- •Cryptojacking miners in visitors' browsers
- •Obfuscated and base64-encoded payloads
- •Data exfiltration to unknown domains
Reputation & blocklists
- •Google Safe Browsing & VirusTotal listings
- •Suspicious third-party script sources
- •Known-malicious domain references
- •Hidden iframes and cloaked redirects
- •Certificate transparency anomalies
SSL, headers & DNS
- •SSL/TLS certificate validation & expiry
- •Security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options)
- •DNS security (DNSSEC, CAA, SPF, DMARC)
- •Tampered DNS records and rogue subdomains
Server & CMS misconfiguration
- •Exposed .git, .env, and backup files
- •Open directory listings & admin panels
- •WordPress vulnerabilities & outdated plugins
- •Debug modes leaking sensitive information
If the scan flags something, don't panic.
A clear next step matters more than a frantic one. Work through this list in order.
Take a backup before changing anything
Preserves evidence and gives you a rollback point.
Rotate every credential
Admin logins, FTP/SSH, database, API keys, hosting panel.
Remove the flagged scripts
Use the scan report to locate every injected file or tag.
Patch the entry point
Update your CMS, plugins, themes, and server software.
Re-scan to confirm a clean result
Don't call it done until the scan comes back green.
Set up continuous monitoring
So the next compromise is caught in hours, not weeks.
Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if my website has been hacked?▼
The most common signs are unexpected redirects, browser security warnings, new admin users you didn't create, files you didn't upload, spam pages indexed in Google, sudden traffic drops, and customer reports of fraudulent charges. Many compromises are silent though, which is why an automated scan is the fastest way to be sure.
Is the scan safe to run on a live production site?▼
Yes. The scan is read-only and behaves like a normal browser visiting a handful of pages. It does not try to log in, exploit anything, or submit forms.
Why didn't my antivirus catch the compromise?▼
Server-side antivirus mostly looks at files on disk. Modern attacks like skimmers and keyloggers often run only in the visitor's browser, load from third-party domains, or hide behind conditional logic that activates only for real users. A browser-based scan sees what your customers actually see.
The scan came back clean. Am I definitely safe?▼
A clean scan is a strong signal but not a guarantee. Attackers can cloak their payload to only fire for visitors from certain regions or devices, and new infections happen daily. The reliable approach is continuous monitoring: automated re-scans that alert you the moment your site's code, headers, or content change.
Do I need to be the site owner to scan?▼
Yes. Only scan sites you own or have explicit permission to test. You'll be asked to confirm this before the scan starts.
One scan isn't enough.
Most compromises happen between the times you think to check. Turn on continuous monitoring and get an instant alert the moment anything on your site changes for the worse.
