Hi, I can help with this. I have experience working with PHP/CodeIgniter applications, Linux servers, Nginx/Apache environments, Cloudflare, and production system troubleshooting. One of the projects I worked on was ZigSig, a US based platform built on CodeIgniter, where I was responsible for development, server management, deployment, and ongoing maintenance. For this type of incident, my approach is to first identify and remove malicious code, analyze logs to determine the attack vector, check for persistence mechanisms or backdoors, audit file permissions and upload functionality, then harden both the application and server to prevent reinfection. I can start immediately and help restore the platform safely while documenting findings and recommendations.

Hi, I understand the urgency here. This is not just a normal PHP fix, it requires proper malware cleanup, backdoor detection, log review, and hardening of the full CodeIgniter and hosting environment. I have experience working with hacked PHP applications, CodeIgniter security issues, obfuscated malware, base64 injected code, suspicious file changes, upload vulnerabilities, cPanel hosting, Linux permissions, and server hardening. I can help clean the infected files, compare core files, inspect writable directories, review access and error logs, check admin and upload flows, remove persistence scripts, and secure the application against reinfection. I can also configure Cloudflare WAF rules, strengthen file permissions, disable risky PHP behavior where possible, secure uploads, review payment and user related areas, and provide a clear report of what was found and fixed. I am ready to start with a structured security audit and cleanup process. Best, Justin
