m the owner of Sagerlabs, a marketing agency. Our Instagram business account was recently disabled by Meta, which we believe was a wrongful ban — our account was used solely for legitimate professional marketing for global and regional brand clients.
We are looking for someone with proven experience recovering disabled Meta/Instagram business accounts to help us appeal this decision and restore access.
Please only reach out if you have verifiable past success with similar cases. We are happy to discuss your process and fee.
Important: Automated malware scanners alone are not sufficient. We are looking for a manual forensic investigation to identify the original attack vector and all persistence mechanisms, ensuring the compromise cannot return. This is the highest priority.
We are looking for an experienced **Linux server security and WordPress malware removal expert** to investigate and completely clean a compromised VPS hosting multiple WordPress websites.
The server has already had passwords changed and basic cleanup performed, however the compromise persists. Malicious code continues to be injected into website files (including `.htaccess`), indicating that the attacker still has a method of regaining access.
We are looking for someone who can identify the root cause, completely eliminate the compromise, and secure the server to prevent future reinfections.
## Environment
* VPS hosted with Namecheap
* Linux server
* Multiple WordPress websites
* SSH access available
* Root access available
## Scope of Work
### 1. Full Security Investigation
* Determine how the server was compromised
* Identify every persistence mechanism used by the attacker
* Review system logs
* Review SSH access
* Review cron jobs
* Check startup scripts and scheduled tasks
* Inspect all websites for backdoors
* Identify vulnerable plugins, themes or outdated software
* Verify there are no malicious Linux users, SSH keys or hidden services
### 2. Website Cleanup
* Remove all malware and malicious code
* Remove web shells and hidden PHP files
* Clean infected `.htaccess` files
* Verify WordPress core integrity
* Verify plugins and themes
* Remove injected JavaScript or redirects
* Ensure every hosted website is clean
### 3. Server Hardening
* Close the security hole that allowed the compromise
* Harden the VPS against future attacks
* Secure SSH
* Review file permissions
* Configure firewall if necessary
* Disable unnecessary services
* Apply security best practices
### 4. Password & Credential Review
Review and advise on any credentials that should be rotated, including:
* Create a verified clean backup of the entire hosting environment
* Ensure the backup can be restored if needed
### 6. Documentation
Provide a short report including:
* How the compromise occurred
* Files that were infected
* What was removed
* What security improvements were made
* Recommendations to prevent future compromises
## Required Experience
Please apply only if you have experience with:
* Linux server administration
* VPS security
* WordPress malware removal
* WordPress forensics
* Apache/Nginx
* SSH
* Malware persistence
* Root cause analysis
## When Applying
Please include:
* Similar compromised VPS recoveries you have completed
* Your approach to identifying persistent infections
* Your estimated timeline
* Your fixed price or hourly rate
This project requires finding the **root cause** of the compromise—not simply deleting infected files. The work will be considered complete only when the server is fully cleaned, hardened, verified, and a clean backup has been created.
Funds will be released after 7 days of job completion to make sure that the issue does not reoccur

I'm seeking a Certified Ethical Hacker to assist with a personal data issue involving two iCloud accounts. The task involves penetrating these accounts to retrieve stolen data from my phone. The ideal candidate will have experience in ethical hacking and penetration testing, ensuring a secure and legal process.
We need an EXPERT developer experienced in malware cleanup and vulnerability scanning, along with experience preventing SQL injection attacks. Lastly, expert in WordPress security issues. USA and Canada only.
I need a seasoned Cloudflare and SEO professional to review my existing site configuration, highlight every weak spot, and put in place the right fixes right away. My priority on the Cloudflare side is security—WAF rules, SSL/TLS modes, firewall settings, rate-limiting, and any other features that can harden the site without compromising speed. While you work through those settings I also want a parallel deep dive into the site’s current search performance: crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals, structured data, and anything else that may be holding rankings back.
Because timing is critical, I’d like the first round of findings within 24 hours and the full optimisation wrapped up as soon as possible after that.
Deliverables:
• Concise audit report covering Cloudflare security settings and on-site technical SEO
• Step-by-step implementation or direct changes applied (preferred)
• Before-and-after metrics or screenshots to validate improvements
• Brief hand-off notes so I can maintain the setup going forward
If you live inside Cloudflare, speak fluent technical SEO, and can move fast, I’m ready to get started immediately.

I’ve got two routers that already expose WireGuard in their firmware menus (that’s why I selected “Wireguard” when asked about both the device type and the travel-router OS). What I’m missing is a clean, battle-tested configuration that lets me reach my home LAN securely whenever I’m on the road.
Here’s what I need:
• Key generation, server-side and peer-side configuration on the home router so it can act as the WireGuard “hub”.
• Matching configuration on the travel router so it dials home automatically and routes only the traffic I choose.
• Firewall/NAT tweaks and any dynamic-DNS or port-forward advice required to keep the tunnel reachable behind my ISP router.
• A brief set of step-by-step notes so I can re-create the setup if I factory-reset either device.
Primary goal: secure remote access to the home network; no complex site-to-site mesh or blanket privacy tunnel, just a reliable way to reach internal hosts and services.
I’m comfortable providing SSH or web-GUI access and can test changes live. If you need version numbers, cli outputs or screenshots, just ask. We’ll verify success once my laptop and phone can connect through the travel router and ping a machine back home.
Looking forward to your guidance and a solid, reproducible WireGuard setup.

I have been trying to recover my old psn account with the psn id: TJBREESE
I have went through the support chat and agent chat where they ask about order numbers, first 4 and last 4 of credit/debit cards or the serial number on the PlayStation.
I have tried to explain that I don’t have access to the email that is associated with the account because it was described for inactivity. The cards that were used were around 10/11 years ago so of course I don’t have those and I guarantee you ask 1,000 random people and they won’t have their cards from that long ago. I can provide the last 4 of two different cards but not the first 4. I also have traded my ps3 and ps4 into GameStop years ago so I don’t have access to the serial number as well.

I'm looking for someone experienced with Meta/Facebook DMCA takedowns, copyright enforcement, and online reputation management, Facebook pages and posts about me deleted.
I am a licensed real estate broker in Texas, and over the past several days I've become the target of an ongoing social media harassment campaign by multiple Facebook pages.
These pages have copied and republished my original real estate marketing materials, including:
My original advertising graphics
Listing flyers
Custom marketing images
Business branding
Professional photographs
Logos
QR codes
Contact information
Other original promotional content
The content has been republished without my permission and is being used to ridicule me, encourage harassment, and damage my professional reputation.
I have already begun documenting everything with screenshots and URLs. There are numerous posts across multiple Facebook pages, and some posts have hundreds of comments.
What I need help with:
Determining which posts qualify for DMCA/copyright takedown requests.
Preparing and submitting effective DMCA notices to Meta/Facebook.
Identifying any additional copyright violations.
Advising whether there are other removal options under Meta's policies.
Helping remove as much infringing content as possible.
Providing guidance on protecting my copyrighted marketing materials going forward.
Posts deleted that have damaging posts about me.
Please let me know:
Your experience with Facebook/Meta copyright removals.
Approximately how many DMCA claims you've successfully handled.
Your success rate with Meta.
Whether you have experience with situations involving multiple infringing posts and pages.
Your estimated cost and timeline.
If needed, I can provide screenshots, links to the infringing posts, and copies of my original marketing materials so you can review the situation before we proceed.
Thank you, and I look forward to hearing whether you believe you can assist.
I need a seasoned ethical hacker to run a controlled penetration test on two specific assets I own:
1) my network infrastructure and
2) the user-login / authentication flow of my e-commerce site.
You will receive explicit written authorisation before we begin, and I am happy to sign an NDA in return.
Scope in brief
• Network infrastructure – map the attack surface, probe firewalls, routers and wireless segments, attempt privilege escalation and highlight any misconfigurations.
• E-commerce site – focus strictly on the login and session handling mechanisms, checking for issues such as brute-force resistance, session fixation, password-reset flaws and other OWASP Top-10 vulnerabilities. (Payment gateway and database layers are out of scope for now; we can expand later.)
Acceptance criteria & deliverables
• Pre-engagement testing plan for my sign-off
• Penetration-test report (PDF) that includes CVSS scores, proof-of-concept evidence and clear remediation steps
• Optional debrief call to walk through findings
Kindly include in your proposal:
– A brief overview of comparable projects you have completed
– Any relevant certifications (OSCP, CEH, CISSP, etc.)
– Your estimated timeline and a cost breakdown for reconnaissance, exploitation and reporting phases
Familiarity with common toolsets—Nmap, Burp Suite, Metasploit, Wireshark or equivalents—will be assumed.
I’m ready to start as soon as we align on scope and schedule.
