It seems, that the whole Client DB, CPanel Files and Website files are now postet on Web.
WHMCS TEam also mean's, that not the Server was hacked. A Admin account was hacked at HostGator.
Matt involved the FBI now.

One thing is for sure, this is in no way WHMCS fault. As I've understood it, the host has been a victim of Social engineering, this means they have gained access to an admin account on the server where WHMCS is located, this is in no way WHMCS fault, since they are hosted elsewhere.
It's so sad that WHMCS's host doesn't have strict enough security policies to protect their customers against these kind of social engineering / malicious attacks.So Hostgater "Det er en ommer", as we say in Danish.

I think yes; why WHMCS host at hostGator? because they are really cheap. WHMCS is, as every other Server Admin, Responsible for what happend on their servers. And as it seems: Security is not at first prio at their Servers. You see it at the Point: Store ALL CC Data's
We will see what happend.
For me, my trust in WHMCS is gone. They have to do a lot to get this back
