Server security is a top concern for hosting providers, and finding ways to enhance it while also generating revenue can be a challenge. However, with the launch of MyImunify, a revolutionary addition to the Imunify security suite, hosting companies now have the opportunity to transform server security into a lucrative revenue stream and take their security game to the next level.

We are thrilled to announce that the Imunify Security team from CloudLinux will be attending CloudFest USA 2023 from May 31st to June 3rd in Austin, TX, USA.

The recent cyber attack found by Patchstack researcher Rafie Muhammad on the "Advanced Custom Fields" plugin for WordPress is a stark reminder of how vulnerable websites can be to hackers. In this case, over two million users were at risk of cyberattacks due to a vulnerability (a flaw, tracked as CVE-2023-30777) that allowed miscreants to inject malicious code into webpages and potentially hijack administrative accounts.

With Apple’s recent release of a security update for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, it brings attention to the critical importance of regular software updates. We’re going to explore the significance of staying up-to-date with the latest security patches and highlight the efforts of Imunify360 in enhancing their update process to deliver faster and safer protection for servers.

Cronjob is a time-based job scheduler in Unix-like operating systems, including Linux, that allows users to schedule and automate repetitive tasks. The name "cron" comes from the Greek word "chronos," which means time.

Infection of cron files is a serious threat to any Linux system that uses task automation. Hackers can use these files to regularly launch malicious programs and scripts.
