This blog site has been NEGLECTED. The hosting provider has been hit by the CPanel vulnerability CVE-2026-41940 and my hosted files were part of what became “unrecoverable.” This would have been after April 29 but it took more than 2 weeks for me to notice.

The hosting support sent this response on my ticket when I reported that my site is unavailable.

We sincerely regret to inform you that your account is among the small group (~3-4%) affected by a recent security incident. We understand the seriousness of this and truly appreciate your patience during this time.

A critical cPanel/WHM vulnerability (CVE-2026-41940) was actively exploited at a global scale.
The issue originated in the cPanel service layer (port 2083) , allowing unauthorized access before an cPanel official fix was released (CVE-2026-41940).
Data on both live server and backup storage was encrypted , and recovery is not possible in these cases.

Two nights later and a crash course in mysql+phpadmin this site is back online, plus minus a few comments. I couldnt locate the notepad theme so I am settling with this new spiffy Anarcho notepad theme, free of course. The main site‘s download is redirecting to a page not found URL , and getting the theme uploaded from an export from the Github repository was hitting the upload limit from the domain hosts because the export is more than the 2MB upload limit.

The limit is set at the PHP system config that is only read-only for my account. Thankfully the Deployer for Git extension has provided an alternative which is to install themese and plugins directly from the public git repo. Just be careful when you use this as this is a good way to hijack the site. Deactivate it as well if its not going to be used.

This is sufficient for now but I want to tweak the rendering page to have more width. Another simple project to chuck in the back burner. 🙂
