cPanel has already notified their customers that they were a victim of this exploit. What is the purpose of bringing it up here, with no detail, and a link to a mountain of noise?

To make fun of anyone dumb enough to use CPanel? - I thought that was obvious.

If that is the reason, it has a paradoxical effect.

I'm still curious to know the reason why I posted that. Please pass that information on to me if I ever answer your question.

Cpanel - First it makes it easy for people who don't know what they are doing to configure Linux machines, then it gives their front door keys away.


I heard they are going to change their slogan from:
Code:
Web Hosting Management, Simplified

to
Code:
Web Hosting Management, Stupefied
