Ukraine Update

Three weeks into the invasion of Ukraine, pressure continues to be mounted on Russia to end their actions. Last week Cogent told its Russian customers it's disconnected its high-capacity internet service, and others are taking similar action since then with Lumen saying it was pulling the plug on Russia because of an "increased security risk" and LINX (The London Internet Exchange) disconnected Russian telecom companies Megafon and Rostelecom. Amazon announced that it has stopped accepting new AWS customers From Russia and Belarus, and the debate over the rights and wrongs of the Ukranian ICANN rep requesting Russia be knocked off the Internet continues. In our Social Issues section (where members come to vent) ninak, who's father's ancestors are buried in the Ukraine, tells a personal story of a customer complaint, another member asks how long the sanctions will last, and a thread asks if the Russian regime will destroy all the Ukrainian data centers.


 

 

cPanel account protection

At a time when peoples' minds are focused on security, and with customers sometimes using weak passwords and often not changing them regularly, Greg asks fellow members how they usually protect cPanel user accounts from being compromised. Are there any specific plugins or solutions for that? It's a good idea to enforce more complex passwords, and there's already mentions in the thread about using cagefs and Imunify360. As a hosting customer, do you always ensure that you use more secure passwords and change them regulary and, as a hosting provider, what measures do you take to step up security? Share your ideas and solutions in this thread which, of course, may have many valid points for those using other control panels.
