DeviceLock analysts claim that the number of computers with the Windows operating system in Russia, that are vulnerable to Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access attempts, increased by 230%, to 101 thousand during the time of self-isolation.
The company’s founder, Ashot Hovhannisyan, explained that the rapid growth was due to the fact that during the coronavirus pandemic, the number of servers, including those open to the Internet, also grew rapidly.
According to him, most companies allow users to connect via the Remote Desktop Protocol only using VPN technology, while a small percentage of servers are allowed to log in without a password, which is a serious threat to corporate networks.
