Incident Readiness for WordPress: A 60-Minute Response Blueprint

The first 60 minutes determine incident outcome.

Minute 0-10: Confirm scope, isolate impacted endpoints, preserve logs.
Minute 10-25: Rotate compromised credentials and session tokens.
Minute 25-40: Block attacker infrastructure and suspicious user agents.
Minute 40-60: Validate integrity of core files, plugins, and critical content.

After containment, perform root cause analysis and close the control gap that enabled initial access. Organizations with rehearsed runbooks reduce downtime and avoid repeat compromise.
