Hello, Today I received this message by email : You are receiving this notification because one of your accounts uses a custom cPanel integration or plugin that relies on the cPanel API 1 system. We deprecated cPanel API 1 in 2012 and plan to begin removing it from the product in cPanel & WHM version 88. This server is currently on cPanel & WHM version "86.0.4". It happened after I gave root access to a system administrator. I'm afraid he implemented a malware of something. Anyway, how should I take action regarding this email ? Thank you :)

  As the email says "your accounts uses a custom cPanel integration or plugin that relies on the cPanel API 1 system", and they "plan to begin removing it (cPanel API 1) from the product in cPanel & WHM version 88". Probably your server was updated to v.86 and it triggered that email.

  This sounds like the official notification that goes out when you're using a plugin/integration that utilizes cpapi1, we have recently been taking great strides to move everything to uapi in the anticipation for the removal of cpapi1. You should identify the specific plugin/integration that relies on this and move to an updated version that does not utilize cpapi1 or find an alternate solution for it.

  @psytanium , What pages are listed in the table of the email notification? That should indicate which custom integrations are making the calls. More information can be found in this forum post:
