Cleaning up "anonymousfox" terwilliger October 05, 2020 16:27 I'm trying to figure out how to clean up a cPanel account from an . So far I have: * contacted my host who ran a malware scan, cleaned up some stuff (not sure exactly what), and reset my cpanel password * renamed the site folder so it's not publicly accessible right now, went through all the files in publichtml, compared them with an earlier backup, and replaced or deleted files where there were differences * deleted any email accounts + accounts in the "user manager" section that are no longer in use * reset all user passwords Poking through the home directory now, I see a suspicious file in the "etc" folder called "shadow" with 2 lines. The first line starts with "anonymousfox" and the second line starts with "smtpfox." So, that seems bad... When I search for info on what to do with this "shadow" file though, I get the impression that it shouldn't be removed or messed with. But just leaving it also seems bad, so I'm not sure what to do. Any advice would be appreciated.
