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.[1] High-value ransomware targets are sometimes available such as airports.[2] Access to a compromised machine retails from $3 to $19 depending on automatically gathered system and network metrics using a standardised back door.[3][4]
Russian sites such as xDedic[3] do not sell access to machines within the former Soviet nations.[5]
Commercial RDP Services
editIn addition to illegal RDP shops, legitimate services offer remote desktop access for various purposes such as business operations, remote work, and server management. Some of these services include:
- A service that provides multiple RDP options such as buy RDP, USA RDP, and cheap RDP. These services cater to users needing secure and affordable remote access solutions.
