If you have given Password, SSH and FTP access to your developer you can consider doing the following:

  1. Change your WHM's root password.
  2. Change all of your cPanel accounts' passwords (or those that your developer had access to, if he had access to the whole WHM - you might want to change all passwords).
  3. Make sure there aren't any authorized SSH keys for the root user. This can be seen through WHM's interface, docs here.
  4. Make sure there aren't any authorized SSH keys for any cPanel user as well. This can be done through each cPanel account's SSH Access tool.
  5. Check all cPanel accounts for unauthorized FTP accounts.
  6. You can also take a look at the cron jobs that are running as well.
  7. Ultimately you should also consider looking for any backdoors that might be present in the scripts that your developer was working on.
