My cPanel login is being redirected. How can I resolve this?
- by Suz
I'm trying to get to cPanel to manage my website. When I type www.mydomain.com:2082 into the browser window, the request seems to be redirected. I made a screen-cast so I could slow down the changes in the address bar.
First it seems to go to
http://www.mydomain.com:2082/login
then
http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-sys/login.cgi
At this point, a screen briefly appears which says 'Login attempt failed'
and then the address is redirected to https://this22.thishost.com:2083/, which is no relation to my site at all.
This looks to me like there has been an attack on the system and the login.cgi file is compromised. Any suggestions on how to analyze this further? or fix it? Of course my 'free hosting' isn't any help at all.
