BM Mobil: Taking Over and Securing a Corporate WordPress Site

A site that needed a safe pair of hands

BM Mobil sells and installs vehicle tracking, fleet management and in-vehicle camera systems across Turkey. Its corporate WordPress site, in two languages, had a security incident. The original agency was no longer involved. So BM Mobil needed someone to take the site over and make it trustworthy again.

Inherited setup, limited access

The site ran on a paid theme and page builder set up by the previous agency. It had been moved file by file from an older server. It also sits inside the client's own network, reachable only over VPN.

Regain control safely

We connected through the client's VPN and hosting panel. We reset the admin passwords directly in the database, so control did not depend on any channel that might itself be hacked.

Check before changing anything

We checked the uploads folder, must-use plugins and plugin code for planted files. We also reviewed every plugin that talked to outside servers before deciding what stayed on.

Close the common entry points

We applied the standard WordPress security fixes, both on the web server and inside WordPress. We removed files that leaked server details and added a security plugin for monitoring.

Rank what is left

Instead of a risky blind upgrade, we ranked the remaining work by risk and planned safe upgrade paths. Licensing and infrastructure decisions stayed with the client.

A vehicle tracking app, designed in Figma

Alongside the website we designed BM Mobil's fleet tracking app. A map shows every vehicle in a colour for its state. Tapping one opens its plate, driver, speed, distance, time and idling. "My vehicles" starts with a gauge of how many vehicles are moving, then lists each one with location, speed, distance and last update. A vehicle page adds make, fuel, colour and chassis details, its exact location and nearest point, and the last trip. It also has a button to start live camera monitoring from the front, wheel-arch and cabin cameras. A performance view charts daily travel time, weekly distance and how many vehicles were tracked.
