    Is there another way to access WHM page than https://www.domain.com:2087? I have locked ports 2080-3000 and allows only access from particular IPs but it looks like today I have got Large Number of Failed Login Attempts message so it means someone used another port to access WHM page.

    Any clue?

    Thanks

    Here:

    Code:
    3 failed login attempts to account blabla (system) -- Large number of attempts from this IP: 184.22.210.250

Reverse DNS: 184-22-210-250.static.hostnoc.net

Origin Country: United States (US)

       /16: https://www.mydomain.com:2087/cgi/bl.cgi?ip=184.22.0.0/16

    Above IP is not allowed on the firewall and somehow was able get to the WHM login page. I have tested access from ports range 2080-3000 and I wasn't be able to reach WHM login page only when accessing from proper IP.

    But the question is how that person got to the WHM login page when port 2087 is locked?

    What do you mean by "locked"?
    Is the port closed in your firewall?

    Yes - a hardware firewall before the server.

    PS.
    It looks like cpHulk throws message on any failure even FTP not only WHM access. Can someone confirm that?

    Well, it says "3 failed login attempts to account blabla (system)" Normally "system" means SSH. Check /var/log/secure to be sure.

    i.e.

    grep blabla /var/log/secure
    or
    grep 184.22.210.250 /var/log/secure

    If that turns up nothing, grep for the IP in the other logs in /var/log/ , and you should find what they were trying to connect to. cPanel access logs (i.e. cPanel/WHM, not ftp, ssh, mail, etc.) are in /usr/local/cpanel/logs/
