If this was the case...what software were you running (blog, CMS, forums, etc.)? What version of software? Can you still log into cPanel? If you've got backups, use them....and if you can locate the hole that this person exploited, patch it, and upgrade to the latest versions of all of the software that you use.

| Yup thats not unheard of. Once a person figures out how to exploit a hosting server they will hit every single account in a matter of seconds.
