Yes, my bad. Got the notification from Digital Ocean about a potential risk of Cyberpanel bug; but just left it running as it was just a non-essential server I was running it on. After a couple of weeks, finally got around to try to fix it. CentOS went EOL, wow, always thought I had a long time to move to another system, now that a few months went by… Fixed the EOL update issues. Then realised that server is still running full 100% CPU. Time to use “htop” and “top” to find the processes eating up all CPU. Then found kdevtmpfsi/kinsing malware running. Wasn’t hard to kill, just follow the instructions online. Just annoying. (Note to self, don’t ignore security alerts again. Even for test servers, it’s still better to be proactive to fix these.)
