Lost all my blogging content due to the Cpanel hack in April of 2026?

A few days ago, I lost all my content on my blog due to the Cpanel attack that got in and wiped out my entire server.

I had a blog that was 10 years old and they wiped it completely out, but thankfully I had another backup of the files and database in cloud storage.

That was a good thing, because even the host who had my site backed up, had the backup server compromised.

The website was restored, but was also corrupt.

If using Cpanel, make sure you update to the latest version to keep it secure.

I had an e-commerce website and also a blog that was also wiped.

Thankfully, I had the backups for the website files and database backed up on totally different servers that didn't use any Cpanel accounts.

So I was able to finally restore my websites and get my e-commerce store back up and blog, although I lost sleep during the issue.

I also had woken up to check my e-commerce store to see if it had any orders, which it usually does and I woke up to the server being down.

The host suspended the VPS server, which I'm glad they did and I was wondering why it had been suspended.

I looked into my hosting account and found the ticket they sent and then responded back to them.

I had to completely change hosts, as I tried reinstalling the operating system and that too had been hacked and corrupted.

So I moved my files and website over to another completely different host and got it back online.

The host I was with was really good, and I hated to leave them.

I would still be with them today, if this Cpanel hack had not taken down my website, but it was not the hosts fault.

I just needed to get another server going quickly to get my website back online and the host I was with even provisioned me another server and they found out that they had also been hacked and so they are gonna have to fix those issues.
