Cpanel has security holes - claims scansafe!
Some of UK based Mom and Pop stores are near soft targets of hackers to distribute spy-wares on your PC. A report created by Scansafe.com will blow your mind away as they have identified the possible vulnerabilities if you are using Cpanel hosting.
Click here to read Scansafe’s report about possible vulnerabilities if you are using Cpanel hosting.!
Quote from Scansafe: We do believe the near constant presence of CPanel is a factor. We aren’t, however, convinced it’s the root of the root compromise. We think it’s more likely that the backdoor is exploiting vulnerabilities in CPanel in order to manipulate the modules used to deploy the attacks.

To help us solve that puzzling question, Dan Goodin at The Register generously wrote about the challenges of this attack, and that article has prompted much useful discussion. It’s also helped foster a great deal of cooperation from some of the impacted hosts and site owners; cooperation that will be key to solving this puzzle. And it’s also led to additional exposure and discussion of the problem here and here.
If that true many small webmasters will soon change their hosting control panel!

You may wish to also reference the cPanel news release we sent to all of our customers regarding the Random Javascript Toolkit. You can find this on our website at: http://cpanel.net/security/notes/random_js_toolkit.html
It should be noted this vulnerability has been reported on many non-cPanel machines as well (see the WebHostingTalk thread we linked to for confirmation).
