um, this morning when i strolled in to work i discovered that i could no longer ssh or log in to whm or cpanel as root
i checked our server email to find the folllowing strange email in our inbox
"IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.
This message is to inform you that the account planetbackup has user id 0 (root privs).
This could mean that your system was compromised (OwN3D). To be safe you should verify that your system has not been compromised."
what can i do about this? it sounds pretty serious...

The Alpha Managed Backup daemon uses that account to run properly.
As far as the inaccessibility, I've notified our TS group to take a look at your ticket.
