HostBill Creating cPanel accounts with /home Home root?

So today I noticed that my HostBill was creating cPanel accounts with /home assigned.

Any ideas as to why? I was hacked, I immediately deleted all the symlinks that the hacker setup using their cPanel account then then terminated it.

Looks like one of my packages had "Shell Access" enabled, which created the cPanels with "Normal" shell which gave the user access to the entire server.  :'(
