Apache Binary Backdoors on Cpanel-based servers

   "However, during the last few months we started to see a change on how
    the injections were being done. On cPanel-based servers, instead of
    adding modules or modifying the Apache configuration, the attackers
    started to replace the Apache binary (httpd) with a malicious one.
    This new backdoor is very sophisticated and we worked with our friends
    from ESET to provide this report on what we are seeing."
