RDP shop (original) (raw)

An RDP shop is a website where access to hacked computers is sold to cybercriminals. The computers may be acquired via scanning the web for open Remote Desktop Protocol connections and brute-forcing passwords. High-value ransomware targets are sometimes available such as airports. Access to a compromised machine retails from 3to3 to 3to19 depending on automatically gathered system and network metrics using a standardised back door. Russian sites such as xDedic do not sell access to machines within the former Soviet nations.
