cPanel, Inc. Certification Authority

cPanel, Inc. Certification Authority is a publicly trusted intermediate certificate authority operated by cPanel, L.L.C. and chained to Sectigo / USERTrust. It is recognized by all mainstream browsers and operating system trust stores, so the certificate itself is not a phishing indicator - the same intermediate signs millions of legitimate sites. phishunt only flags the specific domains listed below as suspicious; cPanel, Inc. Certification Authority as a CA is fine.

cPanel, L.L.C. issues RSA domain-validated certificates automatically and at no cost (or very low cost), which is the exact workflow scammers need to put HTTPS on a throwaway domain. Domain validation only proves that the requester controls the domain name, not that the site behind it is trustworthy. phishunt lists the specific domains currently flagged below — those are the suspicious ones, not cPanel, Inc. Certification Authority itself.

In a desktop browser, click the padlock in the address bar and open the certificate viewer. Confirm the issuer chain ends at Sectigo / USERTrust, that the subject matches the domain you expect, and that the notAfter date has not passed. A valid cPanel, Inc. Certification Authority certificate only proves TLS was negotiated correctly — always verify the domain name itself belongs to the service you intended to visit.

cPanel, Inc. Certification Authority and its siblings (Sectigo RSA Domain Validation Secure Server CA, ZeroSSL RSA Domain Secure Site CA) share the same operator (cPanel, L.L.C.) and roll up to the same root (Sectigo / USERTrust). CAs rotate multiple intermediates so that if one key ever has to be revoked, the damage is contained. As a user, you can treat all of them as the same trust anchor.
