CPanel Vulnerability
I discovered this last night by accident. I was looking into an old DNS server because the hosting provider needed to reboot a switch and things went offline for a few minutes, but I didn't know that at the time.

And when I logged into the server, I found bad news.
Hackers are actively exploiting a bug in CPanel. (Tech Crunch)
The article says breaches had been attempted as early as February 23 but they were only attempts. Well, as of March 17, they weren't just attempts anymore.

Doesn't affect this server, but does affect an older one. And it's not just full CPanel installations, but also the free DNS-only version.
Fortunately, I have very complete offsite backups.
