Please follow the steps below to secure your account against hackers:
- Strong Passwords: The first and foremost step to secure your cPanel website is to set strong and unique passwords for all your accounts. Ensure that your passwords are a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters.
-
Regular Backups: Create and maintain regular backups of your website data, including your databases, files, and configurations. This will help you recover your data in case of any accidental or malicious data loss.
-
Use Secure Protocols: Use secure protocols like SSL/TLS for all website communications, including login and file transfer. This will prevent eavesdropping and data theft from third-party sources.
-
Update Regularly: Keep all third-party applications updated to their latest version to protect your website from known vulnerabilities and exploits.
-
Limit Access: Limit access to your cPanel and website files by enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) and setting up IP restrictions for your cPanel accounts. This will protect your website from unauthorized access and account hijacking.
By following these five steps, you can help secure your cPanel website and protect it from common cyber threats.
