    WebPros have announced a critical vulnerability has been detected in ALL versions of cPanel. Their guidance is to shut down ALL control panel access, including cPanel, WHM, Webmail and Webdisk. We have taken these steps on our shared hosting and recommend any customers with a cPanel VPS or Dedicated Server also complete these steps urgently. The impact of this will mean that access to cPanel and WHM is unavailable for any customers during this time.
