Hello, Recently we have had several cases of user accounts being compromised. As way of troubleshooting is it possible to determine which IP address (s) accessed an account? Thanks.

  Have a look to see if the domain has : cPanel > Metrics > Visitors and cPanel > Metrics > Raw Access Logs (You may need to look at Archived as well as Current) ******EDIT***** I should learn to read the posts more carefully before trying to help !! There may be clues from the logs I mentioned above, and there may be additional info in the FTP log for the domain if the attacker used it. If you have root access, have a look at: /usr/local/cpanel/logs/login_log

  These logs will help you to identify the IP address /var/log/btmp Stores all the bad login and logout attempts either failure or success. /var/log/wtmp this log store the good/authorized system login and logout which can be listed using " last " command. /var/log/lastlog
