    A friend who is a security expert suggested I change the WHM access link to something more obscure than the standard:
    xyz.com/cpanel
    xyz.com/whm
    xyz.com:2083
    cpanel.xyz.com

    He tells me there is a new threat out there that can bang on the door of a WHM at the rate of 2k sites a minute looking for access.

    I found this one post on the topic here..

    I think this is a very good change that can be made to harden the server. Has anyone done this? Is it possible? Practical? Better method to make this happen?
