Project Profile for the Removal of Malicious Content from SQL Server

Customer Profile

Sector: Consumer Goods

The multi business corporation operates three E-commerce websites selling a variety of goods and services. Their businesses include antique sales and appraisals, picture printing and framing, art gallery, and consignment of antiques, art, and photography.

Business Situation

One of the company’s websites had been attacked by a hacker and malicious content was injected into the website. When visitors would go to particular pages on the site, malicious content would run and infect their computer with a virus. Google notified the company that it was critical that the malicious content be removed; otherwise the site would be taken off of Google’s search engine. The website needed to be scrubbed clean of all malicious content so that visitors could come to the site and purchase products virus free. It was also critical that the site remained on Google’s search engine so that the business could continue to grow.

Solution

After the SQL Server Programmers team completed their research, it was discovered that the hacker inserted malicious content into the SQL Server database. The SQL Server Programmers team obtained a copy of the database and developed a method to remove the malicious content. All malicious content was removed and the business could once again continue to generate revenue from its website. It was also able to remain on Google’s search engine since it was now virus free.
