cPanel hacked - Users, reset your root passwords!
Website administration firm cPanel has told The Reg that one of its proxy servers was hacked, potentially exposing customers' administrator-level passwords.
cPanel discovered that one of its systems, used to handle technical support tickets, was infiltrated nearly a week ago.
The biz, which provides tools for managing Unix-powered websites, has urged anyone who contacted its help-desk within the last six months to change their root passwords - a credential requested in new support tickets. It is understood this information is needed to allow cPanel employees to access bamboozled customers' web servers.
