Lockrmail Case Study

In this case study we look at how Offer Fuel helped lockrmail recover from a hack to a staging site.

Manual SEO Audit Findings

During some SEO consulting, where we completed a manual SEO audit of the Loc.kr brand, we found that an old staging site on a sub-domain had been hacked.

At the time, the Loc.kr brand was not aware of the situation.

The hack appeared to be in an Asian language and appeared to be set up in an ecommerce fashion.

This hack had the potential to effect the reputation of the top level domain: lockrmail.com, and depending on how the brand’s hosting was set up, their other site loc.kr as well.

At the time, of the SEO audit, we did not want to click on any links, as there was the possibility of malware. 

Staging Site Lockrmail Hack Example

Steps we took to resolve the hack

  • Informed the client of the issues ASAP
  • Validated the sub-domain in Google Search Console (GSC) and Bing Webmaster Tools (BWT)
  • Requested the removal of Every URL associated with this sub-domin in GSC and BWT.
  • Confirmed the removal of all URLs associated with the sub-doamin in Google and Bing's search engine results.
  • Worked with the IT department to decommission the sub-domain's environment, to prevent further hacks.
