Check your account here. See if it's part of any exposure. Also, I would suggest changing the password for the admin. account and set up 2 step verification.
I had my Cox account hacked a couple years ago when they made the transition to Rackspace. Not sure if the two have anything to do with each other then coincidence. All I know is it was enough for me to switch to Gmail.

haveibeenpwned shows my e-mail addresses were detected in some old breaches, but my password has been changed many times since then.
I would just like Cox to find a better way of protecting their users than to force them to continually have to change their passwords. If other companies which deal with sensitive customer data can do it, Cox should be able to as well.

That was one of the reason's I chose Gmail. They allow you to see the type of equipment and general location of the people trying to log into your account and report the activity. I wish Cox had something like this.

Somebody has your username and keeps trying to login to your account but after several attempts, Cox locks your account.
Why doesn't Cox allow you to change your compromised username?
