While simply clicking a link may not be detrimental, act quickly! If you suspect you’ve been targeted, change your cPanel password immediately or have our team change it for you. Clear your browser’s cache and cookies and run a complete malware scan on your computer. Keep an eye on your cPanel activities for any unauthorized changes. If you entered any other credentials or information, change those passwords as well.

Good to Know: Regularly backing up your data ensures you can restore your website to a safe state in case of any malicious activities.
