🚨 The cPanel Situation Is Spiraling Fast On April 29, CVE-2026-41940 was disclosed: a critical pre-authentication bypass in cPanel/WHM that lets remote attackers skip the login flow entirely and gain elevated access. Within 24 hours, it was already being weaponized. Censys watched the fallout in real time. The 6-day timeline (cPanel hosts flagged malicious): Apr 26: 117 Apr 27: 47 Apr 28: 106 Apr 29: 70 Apr 30: 146 May 1: 15,448 On May 1 alone, total malicious hosts jumped by +19,131, and 15,302 of those (roughly 80%) were cPanel/WHM systems. Compare that to the prior days where cPanel made up well under 1.2% of daily changes. This was not background noise. It was a coordinated spike. Top affected providers: DigitalOcean: 1,043 Contabo: 716 OVH: 501 Vultr: 391 Oracle: 321 Unified Layer: 280 Hetzner: 277 Akamai/Linode: 275 GoDaddy: 209 Microsoft: 169 With 1,052,657 cPanel/WHM hosts exposed on the public internet and only 9,595 currently flagged as malicious, the attack surface is enormous and growing. At least two campaigns are running in parallel: a Mirai botnet variant (nuclear.x86) deployed post-compromise, and a ransomware campaign tied to the Sorry/Hidden-Tear family. Ransomware footprint: ~7,000 cPanel servers with ".sorry" encrypted files 6,465 hosts: index.html.sorry 1,637 hosts: index.php.sorry 795 hosts: wp-config.php.sorry Victims directed to attackers via qTox If you run cPanel/WHM, patch immediately.

Got round to testing @modaly_it Intune integration for the Driver Automation Tool v10. Stunningly good, customising the PSADT branding is genius. #MSIntune #ConfigMgr

Microsoft really nailed it with the new Run dialog for Windows 11. The same code that powers Command Palette in PowerToys has now become a part of the new Run dialog 🙏 devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/th…

Also, know that Hotpatch updates do _not_ include Secure Boot certificates. Those only come in the baseline updates, four times a year. Secure Boot also requires multiple reboots. If you are in the midst of your Secure Boot journey, this is not the time to enable Hotpatch.

Friendly reminder that in April, the #Autopatch team enabled a tenant-wide #HotPatch policy. That's probably a good thing, but if there's a set of machines you want to exclude for whatever reason, you need to take action before May's Patch Tuesday hits. techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/Windows-I…
