    Hi guys,

    A hacker recently logged into my Cpanel & stole some of my database's..

    Anyhow, is there a way to view a list of recent Cpanel logins to my account? Also, is it possible to login to Cpanel using a proxy? (I mean, if I can find his IP - I would like to know if it is real or not).

    I am the root owner of the server, but the hacker did not have root access, only access to one of my accounts, he got in with a stolen password,

    thanks

    Here are some log files you may find useful:

    /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log
    /usr/local/cpanel/logs/access_log
    /usr/local/cpanel/logs/login_log

    Their names are fairly self-descriptive.

    As for can you access cPanel via a Proxy - yes, there's a popular third party open source program called cPanel Proxy that allows users to access cPanel on port 80, but it could be used as a proxy for illegitimate purposes such as this.
