Hosting Accounts Getting Hacked
- SEO |
I know this does not technically have to do with SEO, but it probably will impact people with private networks the most.
There is a string of hosting accounts getting hacked. The hackers get control of the WHM control panel and generate a new invoice for you. They then suspend your account.
I had this happen on 3 different hosts yesterday.
Do not pay the invoice. It is not legit.
If you try submitting a ticket, you are likely to get responses asking you to pay the invoice and your account will be restored. They even tried to tell me that it was an error, but I would just receive a credit toward my next invoice, and that it was the only way they could restore my account.
Be on the lookout.

Those are the three that I know of. I'm sure there are more.
