There's a worm making the rounds this way. I forget its name, but it has
a hard-coded list of 31 admin passwords it tries -- stupid things like
"123456" -- and it succeeds often enough to be spreading.
So basically, if you permit this, your safety is only as good as your
users' ability to choose (and remember!) good passwords. Do you feel lucky?

Subject: RDP over the internet

Hi all I would like to know what are your opinions of using RDP over the
internet on a Windows 2008 R2 server? Are there any major known exploits or
vulnerabilities? How safe is the server with having port 3389 open to the
internet.

Rgds,
Mario
