"Hey guys, just had my server compromised through RDP and I'm still trying to pick up the pieces. I was running Windows Server with a weak password, but I thought I had two-factor auth enabled. Now I'm worried about all my other servers and want to know the best way to harden my RDP setup and prevent this from happening again."

"Dude, change all your RDP passwords ASAP and enable MFA if you can. Also, make sure you're not exposing your RDP to the internet, just use a VPN or a secure connection for access. Has anyone else got any specific tips for server protection?"

"Hey @RDP_hacker_victim, sorry to hear that! First things first, change all your passwords and enable two-factor auth on your servers. I'd also recommend checking for any compromised accounts or suspicious activity on your servers ASAP."

"Dude, I feel for ya. First things first, change all your passwords and make sure two-factor auth is enabled. Consider running RDP over SSH or switching to a more secure remote access method like VPNs or port knocking."
