I have two comps, a desktop and a laptop. Both have VNC server on it because I tend to also do alot of remote work outside the house. Anyways because of problems with the pors on the new router, could never control the VNC on my laptop outisde the local network.
Then yesterday I decided to take out the password authentication of my laptop's VNC so that I can just immediatly access it from my desktop (easier than havin 2 mouses and 2 keyboards sometimes).
Anyways a few hours later, someone manged to access my laptop. At first I though hey could be someone friendly. Then I saw the guy first shut off my antivirus and firewall. Started to Run->Cmd and iPconfig (only got the local ip address though) and was about to download an exe from some dubious website when I pulled the plug.
Lucky break there.
(continuation)
It's funny how some hacker managed to access my laptops VNC when I myself couldn't ;p
Its a good thing I was actually looking at my laptop when it happened.
Please understand that I say the following with all due respect, but... duh.
