[Completed] Web1 – Shared/Reseller Server

web1.cpservers.info is currently having some intermittent timeout issues due to a sophisticated peice of malware which goes after the Apache binary.

This malware takes control of httpd and inserts code to interrupt or redirect requests, for the last few days we have been mitigating the symptoms as best as possible.

We believe this has come across on a recent migration from another server, and as it’s incredibly difficult to pinpoint we will be reinstalling the system to ensure its fully removed. There is no risk to the security of individual accounts or the integrity of your data.

21/01/14 20:15 – We started generating a new backup set containing all account data at approx 6.30PM, and there are now only around 15% of accounts remaining. Assuming this completes within the next 45-60mins we will be proceeding with the reinstall.

21/01/14 20:47 – Backup completed, reinstall in progress.

21/01/14 21:26 – cPanel install is now well underway, should be approx 45mins then we can begin account restoration.

21/01/14 22:37 – The server has now been fully configured, and account restorations have been running for around 30mins. It will take several hours for all accounts to restore.

22/01/14 18:09 – Restores have almost completed, unfortunately this has taken a while as cPanel’s new backup system will only restore accounts one by one on a queue based system. The majority of clients should already be up at this point.

Restoration has been completed.
