[Important] cPanel & WHM Targeted Security Release: Patch Arriving Wednesday, May 20 at 8am EST

It is past the time, and it is unclear what the target version is supposed to be.

I am poking at things while waiting, trying to figure out the best way to just do this update as soon as it is available, and this should do it from cron, without affecting server load.

AnyDesk and Debtist GmbH harassment

Does this message from Debtist GmbH have any legal standing? I did cancel that subscription in advance of the expiration date, and we stopped using their services at that time. When I cancelled the subscription, I also removed all payment info from their system to prevent accidental renewal.

>Dear Sir or Madam,

>we have been mandated by AnyDesk Software GmbH, Türlenstraße 2, 70191 stuttgart and have been instructed to collect an outstanding debt against you. This debt was due on 2025-04-02 and is titled “A22041690349”.

>Amount Due: $378.00
Payment Due: 2026-05-26

My response

>That subscription has been cancelled well in the advance of the 2025-04-02 subscription renewal date, at which time we migrated away from all AnyDesk services.

>Please remove my personal information from all your systems. Any further communication with me will indicate your acceptance of Debtist GmbH opting into our "Communication Privilege Subscription", the cost of which is $379.00/year, paid every 5 years in advance, and automatically renewing for additional 5 years, 2 days after 5-year subscription period commences.

Finally gave up on the built-in backup and sync

Since I started backing my home dir (linux), pcloud started stalling almost daily. Too many files change in .config nad .local directories, and it was just getting stuck on files that disappeared or changed. I also had couple syncs (NFS mounts with 100k+ files (mostly because .git folders), that would confuse it occasionally).

Anyway, I switched to rclone backups (rclone sync) and syncs (bisync) and things are running smooth. Rclone can also encrypt files, which makes pcloud crypt service obsolete.

I am posting this to let people know that rclone solved all pcloud issues for me. Electron based apps are just not that great for some things.

The script to test your servers.

They posted this a couple of days ago on GitHub and even at that time this was all well known, so it is not really an exploit - just a quick way to test your servers.

Webpros should have posted this.
