Ok, first off, I don't know anything about databases and site management. I was in my cpanel and wanted to remove few databases that didnt get deleted while uninstalling wordpress.
All my databses are for my wordpress sites. I used "Installtron Applications Installer" in my cpanel to install the wordpress sites.
I looked in to the "Remote Database Access Hosts" and found two Access Hosts. I have never given access to anyone to my databases. I have attached the screenshot below.
Though I've removed both of them I want to know is there anything I should be worried about??? I rarely log into my cpanel and there's nothing much I do there. However, I do remember, few months back, asking my host to move me to another server as the one I was using was slow.
Also, few days ago my host moved all the sites from their server to cloud computing or something like that. Thats all I know that happened since the time I started hosting with them. Does moving sites across servers and to 'cloud' involve creation of Access Hosts?
I see that 192.168.1.* is not to worry about.. but I am concerned about 'rahul' as I do not know how it was created..its certainly not me.. I have never created any access hosts.
I opened a support ticket with my host and they couldn't figure out how the Access Hosts came and asked me to delete them.
I host 5 sites with them and havent seen anything fishy in any of them. But I don't know how to check the databases for any tampering??
