Case Study: Yee Wittle Things achieves rapid site recovery and ongoing malware protection with SiteLock

Yee Wittle Things - Customer Case Study

YeeWittleThings is a family-focused blog run by Brandi Yee that shares product reviews, recipes, giveaways and lifestyle content. The WordPress site was suspended after hosting flagged malware and Google blacklisted the domain, halting traffic, scheduled posts and reader access and prompting worried messages from readers and partner companies.

SiteLock deployed its TrueShield web application firewall and Premium scanner to clean and protect the site. In the first 30 days TrueShield blocked 16,000 malicious bots (over half were comment-spam attempts) and issued CAPTCHAs to 1,000+ suspected bots (none passed), while the Premium scanner analyzed and automatically cleaned more than 165,000 files (~5,500/day). The site was restored within a day and secured against backdoors and future attacks.
