Hacker Exposes Thousands of Insecure Desktops That Anyone Can Remotely View!

  VNC Roulette allows you to randomly view insecure desktops accessible over the internet

Recently, a new website has come up on the Internet, which allows visitors to view random screenshots taken off computers that were not properly secured and are available via the Internet.

The website, called VNC Roulette, has given a whole new meaning to the “open” internet, which contains thousands of screenshots of various types of systems, ranging from FreeBSD to the latest Windows 10 devices.

All these desktops have something in common: they are running VNC, an open-source software that allows users to remotely access and control a desktop from anywhere else in the world without requiring a password. But if VNC is set up without a password, anyone can browse the web and access an unsecured computer.

The person behind VNC Roulette wanted to create a collection of insecure computers that can be accessed freely via the Internet. Revolver, the moniker he goes by (and not his real name), is a Morocco-based grey-hat hacker who got more than he asked for. His discovery includes desktops where he found users reading email or browsing Facebook, CCTV systems, terminals for medical devices, or industrial-grade machinery.
