CPanel phishing scam alert

Hello folks,

This is an unrelated news to any of Schlix CMS, however we feel that it's quite important to know before you or your users inadvertently click the link in the email and enter your CPanel credentials. DO NOT click the link in the e-mail.

This is what the e-mail is like:

Subject: Problem with your webhosting account - ---------------------

Dear ---------------,

Your webhosting account has been transmitting viruses to our servers and will be deactivated permanently if not resolved.

You are urgently required to sanitize your webhosting account with Norton FTP Scanner; otherwise, your access to 
webhosting services will be deactivated 

Click here now to scan and sanitize your webhosting account

Note that failure to sanitize your webhosting account immediately will lead to permanent deactivation without warning.

We are very sorry for the inconveniences this might have caused you and we assure you that everything will return to 
normal as soon as you have sanitized your webhosting account.

cPanel Admin
