As engineers, we rely on layers of security to protect our work. One of the most trusted layers is two-factor authentication (2FA). It's the digital deadbolt on our front door. But what happens when that deadbolt can be picked in seconds? A critical vulnerability in cPanel, the web hosting control panel used by millions of websites, is being actively exploited right now.
