Respected Members,

There was a specific reason for us having changed passwords without prior information. We came across several cPanel accounts which were having weak password leaving the accounts vulnerable to be broken into or being injected into. Even while we were trying to fix this, injections through FTP started to happen. These injections were also affecting other accounts hosted on the same server.

Our system administrators came across such weakly secured account on other servers as well. So in order to avoid any further injection attempts, we changed passwords of all the accounts which had weak passwords. We were also in the process of sending out emails to the customers with the new passwords for their accounts.

Eukhost offers the most sincere & heartfelt apologies for any inconvenience caused due to this sudden but unavoidable action. We only did this to ensure the safety of our customers.
