We can avoid such attacks at some level by disabling default FTP login details on Cpanel web server.
How can we do this? Use following steps to do this.
Edit following file
root@HR-root#vim /usr/local/cpanel/bin/ftpupdate
Search for following line and comment it using #
# print FTPASS join( ‘:’, $system_user, $entry->[1], $entry->[2], $entry->[3], $entry->[6], $entry->[7], $entry->[8] ) . “\n”;
$vhosts->{$system_user} = join( ‘:’, $system_user, $entry->[1], $entry->[2], $entry->[3], $entry->[6], $entry->[7], $entry->[8] ) . “\n”;
After that run following ftpupdate command to update above settings
root@HR-root#/usr/local/cpanel/bin/ftpupdate
Thats all.
