What happens to Cron Jobs on a Malware-Infected package?

If the hosting package is malware-infected, along with PHP Mail being disabled, the cron jobs (scheduled tasks) will also be automatically disabled. This is done to preserve reputation across the platform and ensure that any sites that are compromised do not perform any malicious activity.

Additional Information

Restrictions remain in place for the type of commands that can be used. Primarily, only PHP scripts should be used as part of a Cron Job. As a result, non-PHP scripts are prohibited and will not be addable as a Cron Job. Attempting to add/ test prohibited commands numerous times may result in a block being added.
