A SiteLock Case Study
RicardoSerpa.com, the portfolio and blog of photographer Ricardo Serpa, is his primary channel for showcasing work and connecting with audiences. He discovered the site had been flagged by Google after noticing missing emails and search-result descriptions redirected to spammy ads and dubious sites, so he needed a fast, reliable cleanup to restore his reputation and access.
SiteLock upgraded RicardoSerpa.com to its INFINITY package, deployed Expert Services for a manual cleanup, and installed SMART malware scanning and the TrueShield web application firewall. The team removed hundreds of spam comments and, within 12 hours, had the site cleaned; SMART removed 122 malicious files in its first three scans and continues daily scans (~4,600 files/day) with no new detections. TrueShield has blocked thousands of threats, hundreds of bad bots and intrusion attempts (including one SQL injection), and SiteLock assisted with Google re-indexing—restoring the site’s security and Serpa’s peace of mind.
