If You're Using Windows Remote Desktop You Need To Read This Posted: 01 Jul 2014 03:37 AM PDT One of the most useful features built into Windows (but not sadly in the home versions) is Remote Desktop. Not to be confused with Remote Assistance, Remote Desktop lets you log into your PC via the internet from wherever you happen to be. It also works on your local LAN, of course, which is useful if you need to access another PC in the house or office without physically sitting at it. It comes as no surprise to learn that hackers are now exploiting remote desktop connections. They have developed automated systems that scour the internet for remote desktop connections and then try to brute-force a login by trying thousands of common combinations of username and password. Once they gain access, they install a web server on the hacked machine in order to host malware and viruses. They then send out millions of spam messages in an attempt to trick people into visiting your compromised computer. So if you use Windows Remote Desktop there are some things you need to do now to protect your PC.
