LFD does what cPHulk does, but with more features, so you can disable cPHulk.

I was reading about shell files with php code who reveal passwords or passwords stealed with trojans from computers.
SSL encrypts plain text so be sure to use port 2087 and disable 2086 for WHM.

I think activating SSH key will be a big step to avoid root hacks.
Yes, if you set "PasswordAuthentication no" in sshd_config.

1. I will activate SSH key for root access.I know how to login with putty. How i can login in WHM via firefox if i have SSH key enabled?
You can't. SSH is on a completely different port, so you will continue to use password logins for WHM.

2. If i enable Private Key for website cpanels, how can i login in cpanel interface using firefox?
Same answer as for #1.
