Cybersecurity communities are alarmed by threat actors selling Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access on underground hacker forums, potentially granting unauthorized entry to sensitive data and systems. The sale involves credentials like IP addresses, usernames, and passwords, often acquired through phishing or exploiting RDP vulnerabilities. This not only endangers affected systems but also raises broader cybersecurity threats, enabling activities from ransomware to data breaches
To combat this, experts advise securing RDP with strong passwords and multi-factor authentication, implementing strict access controls, updating systems regularly, and using VPNs to encrypt traffic. As cyber threats evolve, organizations and individuals must maintain vigilance and proactive cybersecurity measures to defend against such attacks in our increasingly interconnected digital world. ```https://cybersecuritynews.com/beware-threat-actors/
