Optimize Your Internet Security Projects

I need help with my Microsoft account. My email alias has been deleted by a hacker and replaced by another one . Microsoft has deactivated the account when I reported the issue. Also Xbox undername has been linked to hacker account. I want to recover the account.

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Experience with Microsoft account recovery

My current website has been suspended due to malware being detected. I have the scan results and all the files or code that have been flagged. I need someone to access the site through the FTP portal, identify the issue, and fix it by either removing or amending the affected files. The goal is to keep only what is necessary so I can have my site reactivated. Please share your experience with similar website security issues and how you would approach this task.

We need an ethical hacker to perform security testing on our systems and identify vulnerabilities. The ideal freelancer should be able to assess risks, conduct penetration tests, and provide clear recommendations for improving security. Experience with network and application security is important, along with the ability to communicate findings effectively. This is a part-time project for someone who can work independently and deliver reliable results.

I need help securing my phone and removing potential remote spyware or tracking threats. I have already changed my number, phone, and used a cloud Yubi Key, but I still feel vulnerable. I’m looking for someone experienced to investigate possible remote Trojan or spyware access, secure my device, and perform backward forensics if possible to identify who might be tracking me. I also want penetration testing to test how secure my phone is and confirm that it cannot be hacked remotely.

My service-portfolio site is throwing browser security warnings, so I know malicious code has slipped in. I need someone who can quickly pinpoint the entry point, wipe out every infected file, snippet, or database injection, and harden the entire WordPress stack so the warnings disappear for good.

Here is what has to be accomplished before we talk about any redesign:

• Trace and document the exact backdoor or vulnerability that let the malware in.
• Eradicate all malicious files, scripts, and database entries without disrupting legitimate content.
• Patch core, theme, and plugin weaknesses, then apply best-practice hardening (firewall rules, secure file permissions, updated keys, etc.).
• Validate that the site loads cleanly across modern browsers with no security alerts and that all service-and-portfolio pages render and function as expected.

I will supply server and wp-admin access, plus any logs you request, in a private chat once I shortlist candidates.

Proven WordPress malware-removal and security experience is essential; please share a brief note on similar cleanups you have completed. After the site is fully secured, I plan to start a separate project to revamp the design, so a smooth, documented cleanup now is critical for the next phase.

High-Quality Off-Page SEO and Digital PR Specialist Needed for VPN Brand

We are looking for an experienced Off-Page SEO, Digital PR and Link Building Specialist to help grow the organic search authority and brand visibility of VPNmine, a global VPN service.

Website: https://vpnmine.com/

This is NOT a bulk backlink project.

Our total budget for this project is 2,000 USD for 6 months. We are looking for someone who can work within this limited budget while focusing on the best possible quality, relevance and long-term value.

We prefer fewer high-quality links and genuine brand mentions over hundreds of cheap or low-quality backlinks.

OUR GOAL

Build VPNmine into a recognized and trusted brand in the following ecosystems:

- VPN
- Cybersecurity
- Online privacy
- Internet security
- Networking
- Linux
- Android
- Technology

Our long-term target is to develop approximately:

- 30 high-authority editorial and PR links
- 100 highly relevant industry links
- 300 or more legitimate ecosystem citations and mentions

These are long-term goals, not a requirement to deliver a fixed number of links every month.

Because our budget is 2,000 USD for 6 months, we understand that these targets may not be achieved within this initial campaign. We want the specialist to prioritize the most valuable opportunities within our budget.

WHAT WE WANT

1. HIGH-QUALITY EDITORIAL LINKS

Identify and secure genuine editorial opportunities from:

- Cybersecurity publications
- Technology publications
- VPN and privacy websites
- Networking websites
- Linux publications
- Android and Apple technology websites
- Software publications
- Digital privacy websites
- Relevant news publications
- Industry blogs with real audiences

We prefer 5 excellent links over 100 irrelevant backlinks.

2. DIGITAL PR

Help us promote original VPN research and technical resources.

VPNmine plans to publish assets such as:

- Global VPN Speed Index
- VPN Latency Research
- VPN Privacy Research
- VPN Logging Transparency Research
- VPN Security Studies
- VPN performance datasets
- VPN testing tools
- VPN infrastructure research

You will help identify journalists, publishers and websites that may genuinely find these resources useful.

The objective is to earn genuine editorial coverage and mentions rather than simply purchasing backlinks.

3. RELEVANT INDUSTRY LINKS

Find legitimate opportunities on:

- Cybersecurity blogs
- Privacy blogs
- VPN review websites
- Technology blogs
- Linux communities
- Developer publications
- Networking resources
- Software directories
- Technology directories
- Startup and product directories

4. EXPERT CONTRIBUTIONS

Find opportunities where our technical team can contribute useful expertise about:

- VPN technology
- WireGuard
- VPN security
- VPN privacy
- DNS leaks
- IPv6 leaks
- WebRTC
- VPN performance
- VPN infrastructure
- Internet security

The objective is to establish VPNmine as an expert source, not simply insert promotional links.

5. BRAND MENTIONS

We also want to increase legitimate mentions of VPNmine and relevant VPNmine research and resources across the web.

A brand mention without a backlink can still be valuable when it comes from a relevant and authoritative source.

WHAT WE DO NOT WANT

Please do not apply if your strategy depends primarily on:

- Fiverr-style backlink packages
- PBNs
- Private blog networks
- Link farms
- Automated backlinks
- Blog comment spam
- Forum spam
- Profile spam
- Web 2.0 spam
- Mass directory submissions
- AI-generated guest posts
- Hundreds of low-quality guest posts
- Paid links disguised as editorial links
- Irrelevant websites
- Gambling, adult or pharmaceutical websites
- Sites with obviously manipulated metrics
- Sitewide footer or sidebar links
- Excessive exact-match anchor text

We are interested in quality, relevance, authority and long-term sustainability.

PREFERRED LINK PROFILE

We prefer a natural mix of:

- Branded anchors
- Naked URL anchors
- Natural contextual anchors
- Brand and keyword combinations
- Generic anchors where appropriate

We do NOT want every link pointing to VPNmine with the exact anchor "free VPN".

TARGET WEBSITE QUALITY

When evaluating opportunities, consider:

- Topical relevance
- Organic traffic
- Search visibility
- Editorial quality
- Real audience
- Website history
- Content quality
- Outbound link patterns
- Spam signals
- Domain authority as a secondary metric only

We do not judge websites solely by DA or DR.

A relevant cybersecurity website with a genuine audience is more valuable to us than a random high-DR website.

BUDGET

Our total budget is 2,000 USD for 6 months.

We are specifically looking for a freelancer who can work efficiently with a limited budget.

We are open to different pricing models, including:

- Monthly management fee plus separate placement budget
- Fixed monthly fee
- Performance-based arrangements where appropriate
- Low-cost or free editorial outreach combined with selective paid opportunities

Please explain how you would allocate the 2,000 USD budget.

We would rather spend the entire budget on a small number of excellent opportunities than spend it on hundreds of low-quality backlinks.

DELIVERABLES

For each proposed opportunity, provide:

- Website or domain
- Target page
- Website niche
- Estimated organic traffic
- Relevant keywords and rankings
- DR, DA or equivalent metrics
- Link type
- Proposed anchor
- Target URL
- Placement method
- Estimated cost, if applicable
- Contact and outreach status
- Publication status
- URL after publication
- Notes about relevance

We want a transparent tracking sheet for all activities.

IMPORTANT

We understand that 2,000 USD is a limited budget for a 6-month SEO campaign.

Therefore, we are NOT expecting unrealistic quantities of backlinks.

Our priority is:

Quality over quantity
Relevance over domain metrics
Real websites over link networks
Editorial links over paid link packages
Long-term authority over short-term backlink volume

For example, we would rather obtain 5 excellent cybersecurity or technology editorial links than 100 irrelevant backlinks.

We are also interested in building an ongoing relationship with the right specialist rather than completing a one-time backlink order.

IDEAL CANDIDATE

You should have demonstrated experience with:

- Off-Page SEO
- Digital PR
- Link building
- Journalist outreach
- Technology SEO
- Cybersecurity SEO
- SaaS SEO
- VPN and privacy SEO
- Editorial outreach
- Relationship-based link building

Experience getting coverage from technology or cybersecurity publications is a major advantage.

WHEN APPLYING

Please provide:

1. 3 to 5 examples of high-quality editorial links you have successfully acquired.
2. Examples specifically from technology, cybersecurity, SaaS, VPN or privacy websites if available.
3. Your approach to acquiring editorial links with a limited budget.
4. How you identify websites worth pursuing.
5. Your expected monthly workflow.
6. Your preferred reporting format.
7. Whether you personally conduct outreach or use third-party link networks.
8. Your proposed pricing and how you would allocate our 2,000 USD total budget.

Please do not send generic SEO proposals or packages such as "500 backlinks, DA 50 plus, guaranteed ranking."

We are looking for someone who understands authority building, digital PR and sustainable SEO.

If the initial 6-month campaign produces good results, there is potential for a longer-term engagement and increased budget in the future.

Hello Salman,

I’m looking for professional help with an Instagram account that was suspended for Account Integrity and has already gone through the appeal process.

The first identity document submission was not accepted, so we submitted the identity verification a second time through the Instagram app.

There is also an active and open Meta support case on the linked Facebook account, but the issue is still unresolved and the Instagram account remains disabled.

Before moving forward, could you please answer the following:

Have you successfully recovered already-appealed Account Integrity suspension cases like this before?
Have you handled cases where identity verification was rejected once and then submitted again?
Can you work with an existing active Meta/Facebook support case without creating another duplicate appeal?
What is your realistic success rate for this type of case?
What is your average turnaround time?
What is the fastest turnaround time you have achieved for a similar case?
What would be the total expected cost?
Do you charge upfront, hourly, or after successful recovery?
What method would you use — standard Meta support, escalation, Meta representative/partner channel, or another legitimate recovery process?
Would you require the Instagram password, 2FA codes, backup codes, or email access? I prefer not to provide sensitive login information.

I am looking for the fastest reliable solution, so please be specific about the expected time, total cost, and the process you would use.

Thank you.

Google/Gmail Account Recovery Assistance Needed

I need help recovering access to an old Google/Gmail account that belongs to us.

We currently have:

the exact Gmail address;
the last known password that was used on the account;
some knowledge of the account's previous usage/history.

We no longer have:

access to the old recovery phone number;
access to a recovery email;
access to previously trusted/logged-in devices.

I am looking for someone who has real experience with Google Account Recovery, especially difficult cases where the recovery phone/email and trusted devices are no longer available.

I need someone who can:

Review the current situation and determine what legitimate recovery options may still be available.
Guide us through Google's official account recovery process.
Help us choose the best device, browser, network/location and recovery attempt setup.
Explain what historical/account information may improve the chance of successful verification.
Help troubleshoot the recovery flow if Google offers different verification options.

lost recovery phone numbers;
unavailable recovery emails;
no currently logged-in trusted devices;
only a previous/last known password available.

Budget: $25 fixed price initially.

If you clearly have relevant experience and additional legitimate work is required, we can discuss a higher payment.

Please include in your proposal:

your specific experience with Google/Gmail Account Recovery;
whether you have handled a case with no recovery phone/email and no trusted device;
what legitimate recovery options you believe may still be available in this situation.

We need an experienced WordPress security specialist to immediately recover and secure the website of the Dominica Geothermal Development Company (DGDC). The site has been compromised multiple times, and while the content is still present, the WordPress backend and admin functionality are affected, and the website is currently down. We need someone with strong incident-response experience to investigate the server, remove malware, recover the database, and restore access while preserving the existing website structure, content, and appearance as much as possible. This is not a redesign or development project.

PLEASE read ATTACHMENT

I need a thorough security assessment of both our public-facing web applications and the underlying network infrastructure. For the web layer, your testing must zero-in on two critical areas—Authentication & Authorization and Input Validation—so we can be confident that user identities are protected and no injection or validation bypass is possible. On the network side, I’m looking for the classic internal and external penetration workflow: reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery, exploitation, and clear remediation guidance.

Deliverables
• Executive summary that highlights overall posture and business risk
• Technical report detailing:
– Findings for Authentication & Authorization
– Findings for Input Validation
– Network vulnerabilities with proof-of-concept evidence
• Re-test memo confirming fixes (one follow-up round included)

Acceptable testing tools include Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, or similar; feel free to bring your own proven toolkit as long as it produces reproducible results. All activities must respect ethical hacking standards and be scheduled during our approved maintenance windows.

If you can kick off within a week and deliver the initial report in two, let’s talk.

Please help me regain control of my digital life. I do suspect that the individual may have used something like apple buisness or cisco technologies to gain complete access and control over everything I do on a daily basis. Including revoking my access to my own information. I need someone who can look beyond the curtain and really understand that it is not just the devices but all of the programs being used that most people do not even know exist. I need someone that is smarter than him in the technology world. He is the best I have seen in real life and unfortunately he had way too much access for way too long to deeply tangle me into this web before I even realized and now that I have been trying to get someone to listen I fear that I just mostly sound crazy. I know the right person with extensive knowledge and a passion for technology will know right away that I am anything but crazy. A true tech will know that if anything I probably didn't sound crazy enough. I do not feel that I have been able to have a private thought or conversation in over a year. I want my life back. HELP.

I need my Asus RT-BE88U running smoothly with NordVPN so every computer and streaming device in the house automatically tunnels through the VPN and lets us bypass geo-restrictions without killing speed or breaking normal web use.

Here’s what I’m after:
• Load the correct NordVPN OpenVPN or WireGuard configuration files on the router, including any manual DNS settings needed to stop leaks.
• Make sure only the computers and streaming boxes go through the VPN while other gadgets (phones, IoT, printers) can stay on the regular WAN if that keeps things faster.
• Verify that Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Hulu and similar region-locked services open as if we’re in the chosen country.
• Provide a quick screen-share walk-through so I can tweak or add servers later.

I already have an active NordVPN account and full admin access to the router’s interface. If SSH or Merlin firmware is the cleaner route, please outline that first and confirm compatibility with the RT-BE88U.

The job is done when:
1. My IP shows the selected NordVPN country on test sites.
2. Computers and streaming devices reach those services reliably for at least 24 hours.
3. No DNS or WebRTC leaks appear on common leak-test pages.

Let me know your preferred method and an estimated time to finish; I’m ready to start right away.

Skills: System Admin, Linux, Computer Security, Network Administration, Internet Security, OpenVPN, Network Security, VPN

Title: WordPress Security & Infrastructure Consultant — consolidate ~80 client sites onto managed hosting (Kinsta), remove personal data, harden against future breaches

We're a digital agency looking for an experienced WordPress infrastructure and security consultant to lead a portfolio-wide clean-up and migration following a recent security incident.

We maintain ~80 client websites under a "SiteCare" retainer — roughly 71 WordPress, plus a handful of Next.js, Astro and Shopify sites. They're currently scattered across Laravel Forge, Cloudways, Kinsta, Vercel and a few other/unknown hosts, with inconsistent update, backup and PHP-version status. We need this consolidated, secured and put on a repeatable maintenance footing.

What we need you to do:

Audit every site's current setup (hosting, WP/PHP versions, plugins, backups, DNS, access) working alongside our internal team, and fill the gaps in our tracker.
Design and stand up a consolidated hosting infrastructure — most likely on Kinsta (already in use for some sites) — where all sites can live, with a clear standard for staging, backups, updates and security.
Migrate the sites onto that infrastructure with minimal downtime.
Remove all personal data stored insecurely on the sites (e.g. form submissions retained in the WordPress backend / Gravity Forms), and advise on GDPR-compliant handling going forward.
Harden every site and the platform against reintrusion (updates, WAF, access control, monitoring).
Build a repeatable ongoing maintenance process our internal team can run, and help us communicate the changes to clients.

You'll work closely with our internal developers and ops team — we want knowledge transferred in, not locked to you. Please share relevant experience with agency-scale WordPress fleets, managed hosting migrations (Kinsta a plus), and post-incident remediation. Tell us how you'd approach the first two weeks.

We need a freelancer with application security experience to review our codebase and deployment environment, identify security issues, and implement automated security checks in our CI/CD pipeline. The work includes scanning for vulnerabilities, recommending fixes, and helping patch code when needed. You should be comfortable working with existing infrastructure and improving security processes to reduce risk over time.

My WordPress installation has been hit by a malware injection and I need it cleaned as soon as possible. I’m looking for a specialist who can:

• Pin-point and remove every malicious file, script, or database entry
• Restore any core, theme, or plugin files that have been compromised
• Patch security holes and harden the site (firewall rules, secure permissions, up-to-date plugins, and a quality security plugin such as Wordfence or Sucuri)
• Deliver a concise report outlining what was found, what was fixed, and how to avoid a repeat incident

Once the site is sanitised I’d like you to run a fresh scan to confirm it’s 100 % clean, then put the site back online without downtime. Access to hosting, cPanel, and WordPress admin will be provided immediately. If you need anything else—SSH, staging environment, recent backups—let me know and I’ll arrange it.

Acceptance criteria
• No malicious code remains (verified by at least two security scans)
• Search results and browser warnings are cleared
• Site performance is unaffected or improved
• Final security report is submitted

If you have proven experience in malware cleanup and WordPress hardening, I’m ready to start right away.
