Cpanel Protects From Hackers

Hello, You must keep CMS up to date. Once this happens the attacks will stop or come to a minimum. Other forms of security are as follows: ############################ Please ensure that the computer that administers this account is trojan/malware free. Malware is commonly used to compromise passwords in cases such as this. If unsure on which program to use to scan for malware, we have found the following programs to be effective: ====== HouseCall: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ MBAM: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Microsoft Security Essentials: http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/ Spybot S&D: http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html SUPERAntiSpyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/superantispyware.html ====== No one single anti-malware application will catch 100% of all malware on-the-wild, so scans with two or more reputable malware scanners is recommended. ############################ As well as strong passwords: ############################ When changing a password please use good password strength. Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute-force attacks. In its usual form, it estimates how many trials an attacker who does not have direct access to the password would need, on average, to guess it correctly. The strength of a password is a function of length, complexity, and unpredictability.[1] Using strong passwords lowers overall risk of a security breach, but strong passwords do not replace the need for other effective security controls. The effectiveness of a password of a given strength is strongly determined by the design and implementation of the authentication system software, particularly how frequently password guesses can be tested by an attacker and how securely information on user passwords is stored and transmitted ############################
