Spyware scripts on cpanel ,Is it possible ?
| Posted by Tonyit, 08-26-2013, 06:04 PM |
| I hired someone to modify one of my script ,He took my money and did nothing to my script. (note to myself - don't trust asian freelancers)
Now i'm worried because i gave him Cpanel logins and this cpanel have basic access to WHM,i don't know he installed some spyware or something like that,is that possible to install something like that ?
if someone install something like that where they normally install them ? Is it possible ?
and
are these files important .accesshash, bash_profile ,.bashrc) ? Because i deleted them. (i was little bit paranoid)

| Of course that is possible. He just need to put 1 line script on a file in your cpanel account and he can access your data although you change the password.

| If you have given root access, anybody can do anything. I also suggest you to remove all allowed SSH keys (authorized key) from your server.

| Check the logs of the server if you have enough access to check what commands he has issued.

| Did you give him SSH access, cPanel access only and was it a regular user or root? That's the key thing.
