In total, ESET detected 29 billion attempted RDP attacks across the year, as cyber criminals attempt to exploit remote workers. <\/p>\n<p>In some cases, RDP ports are even misconfigured, providing attackers with even greater access to networks. <\/p>\n<p>Either way, RDP attacks can be used to infiltrate networks to examine and steal sensitive information, while it can also be used as a means of gaining enough access to the network to deploy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/ransomware-an-executive-guide-to-one-of-the-biggest-menaces-on-the-web\/\">ransomware attacks<\/a>. <\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_zd_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\"> <\/section>\n<p>This is all in environments that might be less protected than they would be if employees were working from within the office, rather than working remotely. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;RDP attacks are focusing on technology not on the human beings, thus require less handiwork from the attackers. Misconfigured RDP in many cases leads to valuable resources, such as company servers or devices with admin rights, that represent a springboard for further, often network-wide, compromises,&#8221; Ondrej Kubovi\u010d, security awareness specialist at ESET told ZDNet. <\/p>\n<p>The ESET report notes that there was a drop off in RDP attacks during December, something that they&#8217;ve attributed to cyber criminals taking time off over Christmas. But it&#8217;s expected that 2021 will continue to see cyber criminals attempting to use RDP attacks to break into corporate networks, especially as employees continue to work remotely. <\/p>\n<p>However, there are actions that organisations can take to make it much more difficult for cyber criminals to successfully compromise the network with RDP attacks. <\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/ransomware-victims-arent-reporting-attacks-to-police-thats-causing-a-big-problem\/\"><strong>Ransomware victims aren&#8217;t reporting attacks to police.

That password shouldn&#8217;t be used for any other accounts in order to lower the risk of compromise as a result of the password being leaked or breached elsewhere. <\/p>\n<p>Applying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/protect-yourself-how-to-choose-the-right-two-factor-authenticator-app\/\">two-factor authentication<\/a> across the network will also go a long way to
