| Cpanel does have the FileManager tool from where they can edit your files, if you dont want that, you can disable that from the package's feature list.
But honestly, thats not the right way to handle the hack. You should check and see how they manage to access your sites and stop from the root. Do you hold your own dedi server?.

| Try to upgrade cpanel and your wordpress installation. Also, try to disable any plugins that you use and see in the attacks will stop. After that see which module they use to exploit the server and upgrade that module, or stop using it....

| When you use WordPress, remember that you will need to properly secure WordPress. That means doing these things:
1. Update WordPress to the latest version using the update function in the WordPress admin section.
2. Install the "Better WP Security" pluggin in WordPress. This will add brute force detection and auto-blocking, and it will make it easy to make additional security related improvement to your WordPress site.
3. Click on the Security tab in the WordPress admin to tweak the security settings.
4. Change the admin username to something else (since the hackers are trying to guess the password for the WordPress admin account).
5. While you are tweaking security, change the WordPress table prefix, the user id 1, and some of the other items listed in the Security tab. These things are not related to this current wave of brute force attacks, but these are generally good security ideas that will likely help against future attacks.
6. Disable and Remove every theme and pluggin that you are not currently using. Leave only the "Better WP Security" pluggin if you can. Fewer themes and pluggins will mean fewer things for hackers to target in the future.
7. Choose a really strong password for your admin level user. Long, completely random jumbles are the best, because they cannot be quickly guessed in a dictionary attack. Don't use plain English words. Remember, 20+ character random jumbles are drastically more secure than simple passwords like "qwerty" or "password123". Even after you have changed the admin user's username, it is still important to take password complexity seriously.
