The malicious email contains one or more links to a phishing site, which replicates the cPanel Webmail login page.
If you filled out the form already, and your password is compromised follow these steps:

  • Reach your hosting provider, and ask for a password reset and further instructions.
    If you don’t remember it, contact the last web developer you worked with and ask for cPanel credentials. Otherwise, if you have no other options, contact us for support.
  • If your email is not managed by your web hosting provider, find out your email provider.

  • Lastly, if the same password is used for PayPal, Twitter, Facebook, IG or LinkedIn, make sure every account is secured.
